A Naperville Buyers Market is a Trading Up Market

I’ve had quite a few conversations in the last few weeks with Naperville homeowners that want to sell their home.  They don’t want to take a loss on their home but still want to take advantage of the super low interest rates and low prices of other Naperville real estate.

I pointed out that when you are moving up in a market like this you are most likely gaining equity.  I tried to illustrate it using the diagram below.

 

a-buyers-market-is-a-trading-up-marketYou can see that while both your “current” home and your “future” home both fell in value by “X%”, the Trading Up home fell by MORE in actual dollars resulting in a net equity gain when you trade up.  Tie that in with mortgage interest rates BELOW 5% and you will see THOUSANDS of dollars of additional equity and principle payoff in the outyears.

Karen and I can produce a specific example based on your situation.  Just ask!
