If you’ve been following the real estate market lately, you probably know that we’re in what’s called a seller’s market. But how does that actually translate into an individual home seller’s experience? I just went through the process myself, and no BS, it really is a great time to sell. Low interest rates and increased consumer confidence in the economy are creating high demand, and there are very few homes for sale. As a result, prices continue to rise and bidding wars are increasingly commonplace.
Here are three things I observed selling my townhouse with Redfin listing specialist Klaus Gosma in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood:

Everyone’s experience selling their home will be different, but even as someone who works for a real estate company, my own experience was surprising in many ways. If you’re on the sidelines wondering if this might be the time to sell your home, let Redfin know how we can help. You might be as surprised as I was what a good time it is to sell.
