Only real estate professionals who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR) can call themselves REALTORS®. All REALTORS® adhere to NAR’s strict Code of Ethics, which is based on professionalism and protection of the public. That’s why all real estate licensees are NOT the same.

It is a great time to consider moving-up for current homeowners who feel they need more space or more amenities. Current market conditions are working in favor of sellers who need a larger home or who want to move up in the housing marketplace. “While their existing home may not fetch the kind of price it may have two or three years ago, move-up homes they are looking at are also available at reduced prices.” said Beth Jaworski, current Chairwoman of the Greater Milwaukee Association of REALTORS®.

Assuming a move-up buyer has a good credit score and equity in his/her existing home to provide a nice down-payment on the move-up home, with today’s very reasonable mortgage rates, the monthly payment on the new home should not be a budget buster.

Jaworski continued, “People actually will save money trading up now, as opposed to waiting and trading up when the market turns back into a seller’s market. The savings you currently can realize on the move-up home will outweigh the loss you may take on the current home.” Jaworski qualifies any loss sellers might face because homes selling in the “starter home” price range are selling faster and for better prices than the homes in the traditional “move-up” price ranges.

Current homeowners sitting on the sidelines because they are afraid of losing money on the sale of their existing home should realize that “moving-up” is a great option right now and should consult a REALTOR® about their best plan of action.
