mean you should just take the first offer that comes your way. You can sell your home, you can sell it in enough time, and you can sell it for a great price that can help propel you into your future.
Homeownership is a big deal and usually comes with many emotions. As a homeowner, you might think, “Surely, my home, where I invested so much money and time and sweat and tears, and raised my children into adulthood, is worth more than what ‘you people’ [buyer’s agents, appraisers, potential buyers, etc.] think it is.” Yet these “people”—real estate agents, appraisers, banks, potential buyers, etc.—are considered professionals for a reason. But being emotionally invested in your home has its downsides when it comes time to sell it. This is especially true for downsizing homeowners. Often, they have a hard time saying goodbye to their family home full of treasures and memories. But bear in mind that emotions almost always lead to problems in a home’s final sale price.
