Everyone’s interpretation of the American Dream is unique and personal. But, for many people, it’s tied to a sense of success, freedom, and prosperity. These are all things that owning a home can help provide.

If you’re thinking about selling your home right now, chances are it’s because something in your life has changed. And, while things like mortgage rates are a key part of your decision on what you’ll buy next, it’s important to not lose sight of the reason you want to make a change in the first place.



It’s true mortgage rates have climbed from the record lows we saw in recent years, and that has an impact on affordability. With rates where they are right now, some homeowners are deciding they’ll wait to sell because they don’t want to move and have a higher mortgage rate on their next home. Many homeowners who locked in a 30-year fixed rate under 3% most likely don't want to give that up for a rate that sits somewhere between 6-7% today.

If you’re considering selling this spring, it’s time to get moving – the best week to list your home is here.
