Moving On Up

Are you bursting at the seams of your home, but think it’s not a good time to move up in the current New Orleans West Bank real estate market? 

You couldn’t be more mistaken.  Is the market tough right now - yes it is.  But homes that are priced right and in excellent condition ARE selling and will continue to sell.

While you may be thinking to yourself that you don’t want to "give away" your home at today’s prices, apply that same logic to your newer, larger dream home. 

As an example, a decline in price of 10% on a $150,000 home is equal to $15,000.  That same 10% discount on a $300,000 is $30,000.  Hmmm….looks to me like in the long run you may realize a savings by taking advantage of the current buyer’s market.

Of course, before you jump into the fray, there is the tried and true advice that every seller needs to follow about getting their home ready to sell and choosing the right person to help them do it.
