🚨 Top Reasons You Should NOT Sell Your Home Right Now

I’m Tom McNamara — your Florida Real Estate Insider. And yes, I’m really saying this:
DO NOT sell your home right now.

That might sound wild coming from a real estate agent, but I’m here to give you the real scoop — not just what the market wants you to hear.
Sometimes, waiting is the smartest move you can make.

Let me quickly share a story:
Last week, I sat with a couple in Deltona. They were anxious, unsure whether to sell. After hearing their situation, I gave them advice most agents wouldn’t:
Stay put.
Why? Because their timing wasn’t right — emotionally, financially, or logistically.

So today, I want to share the top 5 reasons you might want to press pause too:

🔹 1. You’re Making an Emotional Decision

Selling while grieving, downsizing after kids leave, or going through major change?
Stop. Breathe. Give it time.
You want clarity before making a move this big — not regret.

🔹 2. You Don’t Know Where You’re Going

No point in selling your home if you don’t have the next one lined up.
Florida’s inventory is tight, especially for downsizers.
Do some homework — and if you need help, I’ve got a free guide that walks you through this entire process.

🔹 3. You Haven’t Run the Numbers

If your current mortgage is at 2-3% and new rates are at 7%…
Even downsizing could increase your monthly payment.
Add in Florida’s rising insurance costs, taxes, HOAs… and suddenly that “smaller home” isn’t saving you anything.

🔹 4. You Don’t Have a Buy-Sell Game Plan

Selling and buying at the same time is a juggling act.
If you haven’t worked out financing, timelines, and backup housing options — don’t list your home yet.
One missed step could mean scrambling (and stress you don’t need).

🔹 5. You’re Not Fully Motivated

If you’re just “testing the waters,” this market will test you right back.
Sellers who aren’t 100% committed often see slower sales, lower offers, and higher frustration.
If your heart’s not in it — wait.

Bottom line?
You don’t need to rush.
Don’t sell because “everyone says now is the time.”
Sell when it feels right in your head and your heart.
