Tariffs, Paused Tariffs, and Ongoing Considerations in Our Spring Market
If you’re paying attention to the news it’s been a wild ride this past week+. The largest tariffs proposed since the 1930’s have since been paused (for 90 days) with the exception of those on China and consumer electronics.*
In my business (and would argue in most) we’ve experienced uncertainty before and quite recently. The early days of Covid we were venturing into the unknown, yet I still had people buying and selling Real Estate when Covid restrictions wouldn’t even allow them to see a property before they wrote an offer.
Why?
People always need to move and life events will almost always trump (no pun intended) “timing the market.” Also by luck, those buying in early Covid are some of the biggest winners in the last decade.
I mention the above because while we can rely on past data, trends, and other statistics to guide informed decisions - no one really knows what will happen tomorrow, and certainly not next month.
Acknowledged some of the recent volatility has brought uncertainty to the forefront, and is starting to weigh in on decision making for some who are in or are entering into the market.
Some advice to consider - the best time to sell (or buy) is when you’re ready and as your situation dictates. This year could absolutely not be your year. If it is, there are so many great opportunities to capitalize and make a strategic move.
I’ll sign off with a question I ask to my clients who are poised to transact this year, and are feeling queasy about their options:
What will it mean if you wait till next year and a year from now we’re in a better/same/worse (all viable options) market? Are you prepared for that risk?
