Make your move - 7 reasons to sell your house

Low Interest Rates. Zel's Sutton Member Program allows his clients to secure the very best mortgage rates in the market.

Mortgage rates are predicted to rise within the 3rd quarter of 2010, so act now and sign up to Zel's Sutton Member Program(SMP).

HST Implementation. The new Harmonized sales Tax (HST) will be in effect in July 2010, increasing the closing costs on new homes and all related services, such as legal, moving, commissions.

Family matters. If you’re finding that you have more people in your home than space to fit them in, it may be time to think about moving into a larger space. Often times a house that’s quaint for two turns into a cramped living environment down the road. Starting a family, having frequent visitors or adding inviting the in-laws to stay can all be factors in moving to a bigger home.

Learn about location. If you’re not satisfied with the school you’re children are attending, than location is definitely a factor when it comes to where you live. School districts are pre-determined, so be sure to research which schools fit your standards and browse at available homes in that area. Keep in mind travelling measures as well (e.g. school bus routes, etc.)

Your commute is time-consuming. If you spend hours travelling to and from work, that can put a toll on your health and your financial outlook. Living in a home that’s close to your work can help you save time and money. You can even put your commuting savings towards your piece of real estate.

Your home is not even close to your dream home. If you feel like you have more cons than pros when it comes to the features of your home, it’s time to move. Real estate properties come in all shapes and sizes, giving you a multitude of choice. If you don’t like the layout of your home and remodelling is too expensive or not feasible, moving somewhere else can make you happier.

You’re thinking about moving in a short period of time. If you do decide to remodel, you should wait a while before you put up the “for sale” sign. Having to deal with the costs that come with re-modelling and the real estate market can leave you with the risk of getting a less than ideal result when selling your home.
