It’s June and wedding season is in full bloom! The happy occasion often means figuring out what to do with two houses. For most couples that means deciding which house to sell.
There are several factors that need to be determined before making a decision. Here is a list of questions to ask to make the process a little easier.
- Which house is closest to each person’s work location?
- Which home has the greatest amenities?
- Which house has the lowest property taxes?
- Which floor plan is better suited to meet the needs of each person?
- Which home is closest to friends and family?
- Which house is closest to favorite activities?
- Which house will require the least amount of changes or improvements to make it fit your style and personal needs?
- Which house has the best access to schools? (No kids or plans for kids? Skip this one!)
- Which home has the lowest balance or principle due on the mortgage?
Don’t hesitate to contact a real estate agent to help you with the decision. He or she can update you on local market conditions while assessing values of the homes. Your agent may even suggest other options that will be more beneficial.
