You’ve thought about selling your home—but it’s a big step. If you’re feeling unsure about whether now is the right time, you’re not alone. The truth is: there isn’t one perfect moment to sell that applies to everyone.

What helps is getting clear on your “why.” These seven discussion questions can help you sort through your needs, your finances, and your future plans—so you can make a decision with confidence.

1) Does your home still fit you and your family?

Life changes fast, and homes don’t always keep up. Maybe your household has grown. Maybe it’s shrunk. Maybe your hobbies, health needs, or routines look totally different than they did when you bought the place.

A home can start to feel too small, too large, or simply not set up for the way you live today—and that’s a valid reason to explore new options.

2) Have you made a career or lifestyle shift?

A new job, a new schedule, or even a new mindset can make your location feel less ideal than it once did. A commute that used to be “fine” can become exhausting. Or maybe your priorities have changed and you want more walkability, more quiet, more space, or more access to the city.

Lifestyle is quality of life. And quality of life matters.
