1032 ET - Sellers across the U.S. are optimistic heading into the spring, with 70% of potential sellers thinking it is a good time to sell, according to a new survey from Realtor.com. Sellers are upbeat this year because of their ability to take advantage of the increased value of homes and an expectation that buyer-offers will meet their asking price. But despite optimism, some potential sellers still feel locked in due to interest rates. Many potential sellers are considering selling out of necessity, including the need for more or less space, for family, life events, work, or because they can no longer afford their home. However, the top reason for selling was all about location, with 46% selling to find a different community. (chris.wack@wsj.com)
