Most people in Show Low start a move on Zillow. I'd start somewhere else.
Before you look at one house, you need three numbers. Once you have them, the "can we actually do this?" question mostly answers itself.
1. What your home would sell for today
Not the online estimate. A real number, based on what homes like yours in Show Low have actually sold for lately. That number moves more than people think, and it's usually the biggest piece of the puzzle.
2. What you'd walk away with
Sale price minus what you still owe, minus the costs of selling. That's your equity, the money you take to the next place. A lot of people are sitting on more than they realize.
3. What you'd qualify for next
This is where being a broker matters. I'm not stuck with one bank's programs. I shop hundreds of lenders, so the answer to "what can we buy?" is based on the whole market, not one shelf.
Put those three together and you know your real range. Not a guess. Not a hope.
Sometimes the answer is "now's a great time." Sometimes it's "wait a year and you'll be in a much better spot." Either way, you'll know.
