Paused Your Moving Plans? Here’s Why It Might Be Time to Move Forward
If you’ve hit the brakes on your moving plans over the past year, you’re not alone. Many homeowners paused their next steps because of higher interest rates, market uncertainty, or concerns about timing. But at Corken + Company, we’re seeing a shift—and we believe now might be the right time to hit play again.
Whether you’ve ben waiting to upsize, downsize, relocate, or simply change pace, there are several reasons 2025 could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
You Likely Have More Equity Than You Think
Over the past few years, home values across Colorado have appreciated steadily. If you’ve owned your home for even a few years, chances are you’ve built significant equity.
This equity can:
-
Help you make a stronger down payment on your next home
-
Offset higher interest rates with lower loan balances
-
Provide flexibility to purchase before you sell, using tools like bridge loans or equity lines
At Corken + Company, we’ll help you understand your current market value and show you exactly how your equity can work for you.
Inventory Is Growing—And So Are Your Options
As 2025 unfolds, more homeowners are listing their properties, which means buyers finally have more homes to choose from. This increase in inventory offers a more balanced market than we’ve seen in recent years, giving you the ability to shop without rushing or overbidding.
If you were frustrated by the limited choices during the peak of the pandemic-era housing boom, now is a great time to re-engage.
Interest Rates Are Leveling Out
While mortgage rates aren’t as low as they were in 2020 or 2021, they’ve stabilized from recent highs. And if the economy continues to cool, rates may even dip further in the coming months.
In the meantime, lenders are offering creative solutions like:
-
Temporary rate buydowns
-
Adjustable-rate mortgage options
-
Permanent buydown programs using seller concessions
We’ll connect you with trusted loan professionals who can customize your financing strategy to work within your goals.
You Don’t Have To Wait for the “Perfect” Market
Trying to time the real estate market is like trying to time the stock market—nearly impossible. Instead, we recommend focusing on your personal timing. Are you outgrowing your space? Looking to get closer to work, family, or better schools? Want to downsize and simplify?
If the answer is yes, there are smart ways to move now while still protecting your financial future.
