Are you deciding whether to sell your house now or hold off? It’s a common dilemma, but here’s a pivotal point: your lifestyle might be the most significant factor in your decision. While financial aspects are important, sometimes the personal motivations for moving are reason enough to decide sooner rather than later.

What is a balanced market?
A balanced market is generally defined as a market with about a five-to-seven-month supply of homes available for sale. In this type of market, neither buyers nor sellers have a clear advantage.

In recent years, there has been a significant shift in how wealth is distributed among generations. This shift is called the excellent wealth transfer. Historically, transferring wealth from generation to generation was a more gradual process, often limited to smaller amounts of inheritance or family savings. But today, the scale has increased in a big way.
As a recent article from Bankrate says: “The biggest wave of wealth in history is about to pass from baby boomers over the next 20 years, and it will have major impacts on many facets of life. Called the great wealth transfer, $84 trillion is poised to move from older Americans to Gen X and millennials. If it’s managed smartly, Americans will be able to grow their wealth and ensure
