Bought a house in June of last year. Need to sell it sometime this spring/summer for a new job. We’re in a hot market. VHCOL area. How big of a red flag is this?
In a hot market, selling after a year might not be a huge red flag, especially if it’s due to a job relocation. Just be transparent about your reasons.
Potential buyers might wonder why you’re selling so soon, but if the market is favorable, you should still be able to sell without too much trouble.
Focus on marketing your home effectively. Highlight its features and the positives of the neighborhood to attract buyers despite your short ownership.
Consider consulting with a real estate agent about your situation. They can provide insights on how to position your home for sale.
If you can show that the move is job-related, it may mitigate any concerns buyers have about the quick sale. Just be prepared for questions.
