Jay Quigley says one in five buyers moved last year because of life events like job changes or growing families, not market timing. Waiting for perfect conditions means putting your life on hold. Higher inventory means more options right now.
I think a lot of people are telling themselves they're waiting on the market right now. And I get why. Rates aren't where you want them to be and prices still feel high. But sometimes life just can't wait. A growing family, your kids moving out, landing a new job, getting married or divorced, retiring. Whatever it is, something changes and suddenly the house that used to work just doesn't work anymore. And that's why people are still moving right now, even if things feel a little uncertain and affordability's a little tight. One out of every five buyers last year said they felt they had to move because life keeps going whether the market feels perfect or not. And maybe that's where your head is at too. Here's what I hope you hear in this: you don't have to put your life on hold. And honestly. You may even have more options than you think now that inventory has grown. I can help you find the homes that work for your life and for your budget. So if you're tired of waiting, let's make it happen no matter the market.
Waiting for a major market shift in Tampa before selling may not be your best move.
