Summary answer: I'd generally advise against waiting purely for lower rates — Fair Oaks's current 82/100 competitiveness means 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 — 82/100 competitiveness | A rate drop could bring more buyers |
| Your carrying costs | Avoided by selling now | Continue accruing while you wait |
