Need to sell your home? Shifting in size, price and location? Do you find yourself wanting to upsize, downsize, move to a new location but aren’t sure you can sell your current home before that “perfect home” gets snatched up by someone else? Perhaps you should consider a real estate trade.
In today’s real estate market, we are faced with unique challenges brought on by current market conditions. Lending is more difficult to obtain, especially for a jumbo loan (a loan for more than $417,000 in the Arizona market). With the equity in the home you already own, you could reduce the amount of a loan you would need. In some cases, you may not even need to obtain a loan.
Creative Realtors are working trades to satisfy their client’s wants and needs. To make a real estate trade work for you, be sure to hire a Realtor that is familiar with trades. Ask them if they participate in a trade networking group. Most successful trades come from your Realtor’s ability to network. It’s difficult to find others willing to trade if your Realtor does not “hang” with other Realtors that trade.
