Why Now Might Be the Smartest Time to Sell Your Home (Even If You're Nervous About It)
If you’ve been thinking about selling your current home and upgrading to something that better fits your life but you’re stuck wondering if now is really the right time — you're not alone.
Many homeowners are asking the same questions right now:
❓ Is the market shifting too fast?
❓ Should I wait for interest rates to drop?
❓ Is there even a buyer for my home with more listings hitting the market?
Here’s the truth: the increase in homes for sale isn’t a warning sign — it’s the sign we’ve been waiting for.
After years of tight inventory and sky-high competition, we’re finally seeing a more balanced, healthier market. And that’s good news for move-up sellers like you.
💡 So what’s really happening with inventory?
According to a recent article from Luminate Bank, more homes are hitting the market this summer — and no, it doesn’t necessarily mean a crash is coming. Instead, this shift signals something powerful:
✔️ Buyers now have more breathing room to make thoughtful decisions.
✔️ Sellers like you have more motivated buyers who are ready to move.
✔️ The chaos of bidding wars and frantic showings is calming down.
Think of it as a return to normal, where quality listings, smart pricing, and real strategy matter more than hype.
🧠 But what about rates?
Yes, rates are still higher than what we saw a few years ago — but they’ve recently dipped again, and more buyers are re-entering the market this month because of it.
Even better? Many move-up sellers have built serious equity over the last few years, which means you may have more flexibility in your next purchase than you think.
The key is understanding your numbers and your options before making a move.
