1. You've got equity on your side.

For most homeowners, being financially ready to sell your house comes down to one factor: equity. You want to have enough equity to pay off your current mortgage, plus enough left over to make a 20% down payment on your next home. If you can make enough profit to also cover closing costs, moving expenses, or an even larger down payment — that's even better.

2. You’re financially ready to buy.

Most people who sell a house buy a new one right away. Take a hard look at your finances. If you've paid off all your non-mortgage debt and have 3-6 months of expenses in your emergency fund, that's a good sign you're financially secure enough to purchase a home again.

3. You can pay off all your debt with the money you’ll make from the sale.

It’s super radical, but it can be a great financial move!

  • Pay off your current mortgage
  • Make the down payment on your new home
  • Have money left over to pay off your credit cards, student loans, and car payments

5. You can afford to buy a home that fits your lifestyle better.

Do you need another bedroom (or even two) for your growing family? Or, maybe your kids have all moved out and you’re ready to downsize. Whether you’re sizing up or down, make sure your mortgage fits your budget.

6. You can cash flow staging your home and moving.

You should spend a little money to stage your home so it’s ready for showings. Focus your home improvement dollars on paint, curb appeal, plus kitchen and bath upgrades. A little bit of fresh paint and elbow grease can go a long way.

7. You’re emotionally ready to sell.

Selling your home is an emotional issue, too. Before we plant the “For Sale” sign in the front yard, take a minute to ask yourself, Am I really ready to sell my house? Also be ready to keep your house in showing-ready condition throughout the process, and be prepared for the negotiations to come.

8. You understand the market (a little bit).

No one can predict how the housing market will perform with 100% accuracy. But having a general idea about inventory levels in your area can go a long when we figuring out what to expect when selling your home.
