Summary answer: I'd generally advise against waiting purely for lower rates — Annandale's current competitiveness (sale-to-list ~102.3%, over half of homes selling above list) means current conditions are already favorable for sellers, and a rate drop mainly benefits buyers rather than guaranteeing you a higher sale price.
I'm Johnny with JQ Real Estate. Here's how to think through this instead of guessing at rate timing.
The actual trade-off
| Factor | Case for Selling Now | Case for Waiting on Rates |
|---|---|---|
| Current demand | Strong — 102.3% sale-to-list | A rate drop could bring more buyers |
| Your carrying costs | Avoided by selling now | Continue accruing while you wait |
