14.8% mentioned that they felt it was too soon to consider selling, often because they wanted to wait to build more equity in their home, pay off more of their mortgage or because they felt the home wouldn't be market ready until they made some repairs or improvements.

In their open-ended responses, some homeowners (including those who have or have not thought about selling in the past year and those who have recently sold) mentioned their dissatisfaction with the current market as a reason why they might not want to sell. 13.3% of all responses pointed to the current market being too expensive or too hot. This seems counterintuitive, right? After all, the market is great for sellers at the moment. Remember, though, that many sellers also end up being home buyers in that same market. That can make this unprecedented seller’s market a bit of a double-edged sword for homeowners. One respondent likened this situation to a catch-22. Another said they would and would not want to sell for the same reason: prices are high. Others mentioned that it would be difficult for them to find a new home that they liked and could afford in the current market. With such a competitive market, is it possible for homeowners to have the best of both worlds when entering as both a seller and a buyer? Absolutely, says Rocket Homes REALTOR® Jason Strat. Sellers just need to give themselves enough time to find a new home. Strat advises that homeowners use their leverage as the seller to negotiate occupancy, meaning they stay in their old home for a certain amount of time after closing, paying rent to the new owner and giving themselves the flexibility to find a home that suits their needs and their budget. “My suggestion would be to either work out financing so that they could purchase prior to listing their home or ask for occupancy that would allow them time to find the next home and move through the financing period with enough time for their move,” he said. Some homeowners, Strat said, may even be able to use this current market as an opportunity to upgrade. “Homes in the lower and middle price points are potentially selling quicker than the higher priced homes, partly because home values have gone up as much as they have in recent years,” he said. “This could give an opportunity for a seller to move up in home size and take advantage of the low interest rates and purchase more then they may have been able to in the past.”

A DIY woodworking project may be pretty intimidating, especially for people who don’t have a clue when to use a chainsaw, table saw, or which wood to use. Woodworking skills and power tools are sometimes really complicated, especially when used to build a project in your backyard. However, not all DIY experts made their way through their woodworking journey already knowing what a jigsaw is for and how this piece is different from a reciprocating saw; nor did they perfect their first beveled cut or got all their measurements correctly. Many great woodworkers started learning beginner woodworking skills from home where they needed to get help to find their way as they build furniture. They may have gotten their materials and other things in their backyard or workshop just to build a DIY project. There’s nothing wrong about choosing to build small DIY woodworking projects for beginners first. And who says you have to build a big-size tree house or a complicated piece of furniture, anyway? Woodworking and DIY projects at home don’t always have to be made on a larger scale, especially for those who don’t have the information and space yet. You can create something with a 1-sheet plywood, and it would give you beautiful results while being easy at the same time. You don’t need a lot of materials or space. DIY projects like a chair or simple gifts for kids can be made even if you have limited space in your backyard.
