The Best time to Sell (or Buy) is NOW!!!

Yes, it is a strong Seller's Market which put's Sellers in a great position to sell. With homes selling twice as fast as they did last year at this time, getting multiple offers, and rising in price, homeowners are in the driver’s seat. However, increased demand and less supply also means home equity is continuing to rise for buyers who fight to become homeowners….so it is not a losing proposition for you either.
If you are a buyer dealing with the frenzy and thinking you’ll wait until this settles down and prices start dropping - it will be a long wait and you will lose your equity advantage and interest rate levels, as both continue to rise. THE BEST TIME TO BUY IS IN A SELLER’S MARKET!!!
