“Let’s wait a little longer to decide about the move.” Sometimes that’s responsible, especially when there’s something specific to learn. Other times, a few months pass and you find yourselves asking exactly the same question. What has the extra time actually changed?
Ken recalls a buyer ready to make an offer whose missing tax paperwork made waiting sensible. Yetta remembers a referred seller who expected a long list of improvements before listing. After considering the property’s condition, highest and best use, and market value, Yetta offered unexpected advice: DO NOTHING BEYOND CLEANING. Making it picture-perfect would have consumed significant time, money and energy without producing a better result. The seller and her daughter were still astonished years later. When life raised another possible move, she called Yetta again for counsel that could confirm or challenge her thinking.
THE EXPECTED REAL-ESTATE DECISION ISN’T ALWAYS THE OPTIMAL CHOICE.
When you think about the move you’ve been discussing, what are you actually waiting for? What could you do or learn during the pause? And when will you sit down and revisit the decision? Sometimes staying put is the wisest choice. If waiting makes sense, give it a purpose and a date on the calendar.
