Selling a home is never a guarantee, but during a pandemic that uncertainty is even greater.
There are quite a few reasons why you waited before putting your house on the market over the past few weeks – we don’t blame you. The last thing you need to be thinking about during a national health crisis is the fair market value of your house. There are other priorities such as your family, your job, your savings, and of course your well-being.
However, you may discover you have no choice but to sell your home in these uncertain times. To further complicate things, perhaps you were already facing a bad scenario such as pre-foreclosure prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. You may be facing your own medical emergency (and we sincerely hope you are not), or you may have even been one of the 30 million unfortunate Americans now having to face the misfortune of unemployment.
These are uncertain times, but there is some hope! You can still sell your home to professional home buyers like us in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A Smart Move – Selling Before the Market Shifts
COVID-19 has affected the economy for weeks which has impacted the stock market, forced millions of Americans out of their jobs, and made it impossible for dozens of businesses to stay open.
How does this affect the housing market? COVID-19 presents the risk of us facing another recession, which means your home could drop in value. Terrible timing if you need to sell your home due to foreclosure, unemployment, job relocation, etc. Home values are currently at all-time highs right now but everything could change in a few months. If you have considered selling your home in the coming weeks, right now is the perfect time to do so.
How Do I Sell During the COVID-19 Pandemic?
To maintain social distancing guidelines, we are now offering virtual appointments for all of our clients. What does this mean for you? You can sell your house to us with minimal human interaction! Here’s how the process works…
- You can either take pictures of your house and text/email them to us, or we can arrange to take interior pictures of your house for you (we need less than 15 minutes). For your safety you can open all the doors, turn on all the lights, and we literally will not touch a single thing in your house if we take the pictures.
- We also have cash offer options available without a single person coming inside your property. You tell us what works for you and we will work out a solution that makes sense and feels safe to you.
- We can close when you are ready – you choose the closing date/time. You can pick a general closing date now and we can always update the closing date as circumstances potentially change. The closing date is completely in your control, fast or slow is fine with us!
COVID-19 may be a setback for all of us but it’s a temporary one and it doesn’t have to affect you selling your house in Indianapolis. Contact us at 317-204-4433 to schedule a virtual appointment with us today!
