Selling Your Home - Special Circumstances

Sometimes it becomes necessary to sell our home even if it’s not what we would prefer to do.

Buying a home is arguably the biggest financial transaction you will ever make in your life. The

excitement of a new home breeds creativity for designing it and leaves a ton of space to make

new memories. Rarely is someone already thinking ahead to the time when they will sell it.

However, special circumstances sometimes force our homes on the market. Here are a few of

those special circumstances that could lead you to sell:

● Debt - Have you found yourself in unmanageable debt? Is your house draining your

funds and becoming a source of financial stress? Outside factors such as medical bills

or the economy can force even the most money-savvy people into unexpected debt.

Accruing debt also becomes a vicious cycle and can get out of control very fast. It may

become necessary to consider putting your home on the market if selling your home

could significantly help you pay off your debt. This may also be necessary in order to

prevent you from going further into debt. Downsizing to a smaller home or renting for

awhile may be the most viable option.

● Fresh Start - We all need to hit the reset button from time-to-time. However, a vacation

away for a few days doesn’t always do the trick. Divorce and other unfortunate situations

can make it necessary for us to relocate and really reset and readjust. Do you need to

start over? Is the location of your current home no longer where you want to be? If you

need a fresh start in new surroundings, selling your home could do the trick.

● New Change - Life is full of change and that is part of the fun! New and exciting

opportunities present themselves to us every single day. Owning a home is a

commitment and - just like any commitment - there comes a time when it is necessary to

reassess it. Has your lifestyle or financial standing changed dramatically? Are you now

in a higher (or lower) pay scale? Do you need to relocate for a new job or other

circumstance? Change is good and when it comes to your home - selling your home

may be very good for you!
