Now might not be the best time to sell a house because rising interest rates are driving home prices down. But you may be in a situation where you need to list a home. Even if it’s a buyer market this may be your only choice, especially if you’re downsizing or handling the estate of a loved one’s home.
Moving, downsizing or a death in the family are all good reasons why you might need to sell your house in a high-interest-rate market. You may have to lower your price to find a buyer, but hosting an estate sale is one solution that can cover your cost and it could even make up for losses.
An estate sale can earn you thousands of dollars with no upfront costs.
Disposing of a lifetime of things takes money, and coordinating the effort can become a logistical nightmare. An estate sale helps homeowners streamline their move-out in a very cost savings way. At Bedknobs & Broomsticks we simply charge a percentage of the sale profit to cover our fee.
The talk about a recession is real. Inflation is at the grocery store, gas stations and most places folks shop. However, now is a time when people are eager to find deals, and estate sales are the ticket for many savvy shoppers who are more than happy to step out on a shopping adventure. Estate sales are an enticing resource for many people who love to score a unique find and land an enviable deal. When the economy is rocky more people are attracted to resale items as a practical money-saving solution!

We are experienced evaluators who determine the value and price of every kind of household or estate item. From cars to dishware to clothing and woodworking tools, we price your inventory for a successful sale!
When you already live on a tight schedule and suddenly you find yourself dealing with an unforeseen task, such as preparing a well lived in house to sell, it’s challenging to avoid making rash decisions. The simple route may seam like the best means to an end. For example, packing and hauling all salvageable items to the thrift store, followed by a couple trips to the dump, at $30+ dollars a load might feel like the best solution. In addition, you may wind up giving things away and later regret it.
