I'm not in any of the situations you have described," you reply. "I am not a retiree. And I am not cut out to be a landlord. After my transfer I will be three thousand miles away. I don't want to get calls at seven A.M. from my tenant about trouble with the septic tank. I don't have the mentality for maintaining this investment, no matter how sound it may be." That is fine. Once you have considered all the reasons not to sell your San Diego real estate, and your conclusion is that you truly must sell it, the next move is to figure out when. The time frame puts you in a position to get the most for your CA home or to sell it quickly and take a lower price. Meanwhile, take a moment to calculate the amount of time you have to ready yourself and your family and to prepare your home to be listed. In a good market, with a well-chosen broker, a listed house should be sold within 30 days. In an average market, 60 to 90 days is good. Get an estimate from your real restate broker of the time frame in which you are dealing. An honest broker will tell you how homes have been selling in your area. That way, you will not get upset if your house is still on the market after a week.
