Traditional thinking would be to wait until your home gains back value, however, we probably will not see the inflated values as they once were during the “housing bubble”. There are, due to the economic stimulus package, wonderful incentives available now, making it a great time to sell for the following reasons: If you are selling your home to move up, the housing you want may be more affordable now, allowing you to move where you really wish to live, whether it’s closer to work or closer to downtown Portland; Higher credit scores will be needed to qualify on some loan programs; Interest rates are expected to start climbing, making it more difficult for some buyers to qualify for higher payments. Considering changes to come, you may want to take advantage of this once in a lifetime window of opportunity for you and your family.
