Is it a good time to SELL in Clermont right now?
The short answer is – yes! While homes are starting to take longer to sell, they’re still selling relatively quickly and for more money than ever.
The most common questions we continue to receive from our sellers are related to where they will go after they sell and what will the process be like?
Many sellers are choosing to rent after selling. Others try to buy another home at the same time as selling. Both are very much still possible – it just takes a little more strategy and potential sacrifice.
Is it a good time to BUY in Clermont right now?
Although home prices and interest rates are higher than they were the last few years, it’s still a great time to buy. Interest rates are still historically low and on-par with what they were just a few years ago.
Lower interest rates keep your monthly payment low, increasing your purchase power – keeping higher home prices within an affordable range.
Buying a home is also the best way to lock in your monthly housing payment. With rents up dramatically in our area, if you think you’ll be living in the same place for at least 2 years, buying is a great idea!
If you are actively looking to buy, there are three things you should do:
- Get pre-approved so you’re ready to make an offer the minute your dream home is listed for sale.
- Act quickly. When a new home gets listed for sale that meets your needs and wants, try to see the home that same day or the day after. If you can’t see it because you’re out-of-town or out-of-state, have a trusted local friend or family member see the home for you. We’ve also FaceTimed our out-of-state clients when they couldn’t see a home.
- Work with a dedicated, local, full-time real estate agent. Inventory is changing every day and you need a REALTOR familiar with the area, other local agents, and expert-level knowledge of contract writing and negotiation to beat out other offers. If you’re looking to buy in Central FL, we’d love to help.
