Answer: You're reaching the fun years. Awesome, Alfred! You didn't mention anything about obtaining the value of your home, so the first step is to determine the value of your home. If, after determining value, you have enough equity to sell and travel, then I would sell. Don't rely on the press or what a neighbor says your home is worth. Hire a professional to help you work out a plan.


Many luxury homeowners are finding that they need to put their plans of selling on hold right now until the real estate market changes. Other homeowners are taking the risk and selling.


Another option is renting your home to a renter until the real estate market changes.






RE/MAX sells more homes than any other real estate company.
For a reason...should we talk?
