I was thinking about selling my home but it doesn't sound like a good time right now. What do you think?

This is a great time to sell if you plan on buying. You will net less on the houseu you are selling but you'll save more on the house you'll be buying (assuming you are upgrading). Let's say you discount your home $150,000 a total of 5% which is $7500. Now lets say you buy your $200,000 home at a 5% discount. The savings on the buying side would be $10,000. Take the $10,000 you saved minus the $7,500 you lost and you are $2,500 ahead. I would be happy to discuss in more detail. Please feel free to call me at (913) 980-5809.
