3 Ways to Ease Your Fears About Making a Move #realestate #investment

With low inventory in many markets throughout the country, many homeowners are afraid to sell their homes because they're concerned that they may not be able to find a new one.  This can be a real problem, but if you are seeking to sell - whether to upgrade or find a new neighborhood - there are a few ways to combat the low inventory.

- Look to buy first
In most markets, it is a real mistake to put your home up for sale before you start looking for your new property.  Identify the geographic area where you are interested in buying.  

- Think outside of the box
Be proactive!  Keep in mind that there are probably many people like you who want to make a move but are afraid as well.  Have your real estate agent send a letter to the neighborhoods in the geographic areas where you want to live.  The letter should be heartfelt and personal while announcing that you are ready to buy a home in that neighborhood.  You could find a home to buy that may not even be currently listed or for sale.

- Protect Yourself Legally
Each state varies in how the purchase process is conducted.  Talk to your real estate professional about adding a clause in the purchase contract for the home you are selling that will enable you to not sell the home if you cannot find a suitable home to buy.
