The decision
What to know before you decide
Selling before the next school year, while leased through summer, after a May move-out or before fall classes creates different showing and buyer conditions. This resource narrows the broader selling after graduation decision to one practical choice so the family can compare the property, timing, cost and downside on the same facts.

What this decision turns on
Selling before the next school year, while leased through summer, after a May move-out or before fall classes creates different showing and buyer conditions. The useful evidence is property- and plan-specific rather than a generic claim about the CSUMB market.
Review the evidence
What to compare before you act
Compare lease obligations, vacancy, preparation time and the parent-versus-investor audience for each timing option. Use the exact address, current documents, current costs and intended hold period instead of averages that hide building-level differences.
Review the checklist
What can change the answer
Do not force vacancy if an existing lease improves investor appeal, and do not preserve a lease if the target parent buyer needs occupancy. If the decision depends on lending, tax, legal, insurance, HOA or university rules, confirm that part with the responsible source before relying on it.
