Home Owners have approached us about Selling their Properties. Below are the top 5 reasons consolidated.

However, no doubts rising home prices, higher mortgage loans, and more stringent loan eligibility (55% TDSR) are a result of some factors, both financial and personal, before putting your home on the market.

It’s also important to ask yourself whether you’re ready to move and if you’ll be able to find another home that fits your budget. 

Why Property Owners want to sell in a window periodEnding Low-Interest lock-in Period 

If you’re still locked into a mortgage at a rate significantly lower than the current rates, you must take action soon!

Take, for example.

$1,000,000 Loan 20 years with 1.5% Interest =  $3,575.45 (P) + $1,250 (I) = $4,825.45

$1,000,000 Loan 20 years with 4.5% Interest = $2,576.49 (P) + $3,750 (I) = $6,326.49

The difference in interest $2,500 per month.

($3,750/$1250, X3 times Higher than previous)

The difference in instalments $1,501 per month.

($1501/$4825, 30% Higher than previous)

Why Property Owners plan ahead for selling — properties taking a Longer time to Sell. Why?

Selling would be a better option than renting the next home. Some would be making the sale to fund for the children’s education for overseas studies.

Lesser Buyers. (Buyers Being Priced Out of the Market)

With more than before uncertainty, the current situation makes it advantageous for sellers to sell their homes as soon as possible. Despite the increasing interest rates, selling your home at this point will still be profitable.

If the interest rates for homes go up significantly, it could lead to fewer buyers being interested in purchasing a home.

Conclusion -Top 5 Reasons Why Property Owners are selling in 2023.

Selling a house is about more than just making money.

Other factors that may be neglected other than costs and expenses when you sell are associated with selling a house.

We should not neglect the emotional uncertainty of a new environment, amenities and habit changes, and one may adapt to the changes for future planning. Moving of house can be stressful, and less talk about making the sale adds stress when strangers visit your home and make the different type of comments and questions.
