Timing the Market vs. Timing Your Life

Many Southlake homeowners are asking:
“Should I sell now, or wait another year?”

The honest answer? It depends—but not for the reasons most people think.


What’s Happening with Southlake Sellers Right Now

Here’s what I’m seeing on the ground:

  • Well-priced, move-in-ready homes are still selling

  • Buyers are cautious—but decisive when value is clear

  • Inventory is selective, not flooded

  • Overpriced homes sit and require price reductions

Waiting can work—but only if market conditions and your home’s position align.


Reasons It May Make Sense to Sell Now

You might benefit from selling now if:

  • Your home is updated or well-maintained

  • You want to avoid future competition

  • You’re planning a relocation or downsizing

  • You want to unlock equity for another purchase or investment

I’ve helped sellers capture strong pricing simply by being ahead of the curve, not chasing it.


When Waiting Could Be the Better Move

Waiting may make sense if:

  • Major renovations are planned

  • You’re uncertain about your next move

  • Your neighborhood has several competing listings

  • Your financial or tax picture benefits from delaying

The key is having clear data, not guesses.


My Approach: Scenario Planning

I walk sellers through:

  • Sell-now vs. sell-later pricing scenarios

  • Net proceeds under different timelines

  • Risk analysis if the market shifts

This removes emotion and replaces it with clarity.
