Why You Shouldn’t Try To Time the Market

Here’s why you should never try to sell at the peak of the market.

When is the best time to buy or sell your home? We get this question a lot, especially since we’re in an unprecedented market. I’m here with my handy-dandy flip chart to help demonstrate a point. It’s going to take a little bit of participation, so bear with me.
