Why Gilbert Sellers with 2.5% Rates Are Feeling Stuck — And How to Move Anyway

Gilbert homeowners with ultra-low mortgage rates feel trapped — but many are still upgrading, downsizing, or relocating. Here’s how.

You’ve got a 2.5% interest rate. You love the savings — but hate how trapped it makes you feel. Welcome to the “golden handcuffs” club.

But here's the truth: people are still selling. And upgrading. And relocating. They're just using smarter strategies — and they’re doing it right here in Gilbert.

🔥 Why Sellers Feel Stuck (and Why Some Still Move)

• That 2.5% feels unbeatable — but it may be hiding a bigger cost
• Rising HOA fees, SRP increases, and deferred maintenance are eating up the monthly “savings”
• Homes priced right in Gilbert are still selling in under two weeks — even for move-up properties
• Smart sellers are taking equity, buying smart, and winning on lifestyle, not rate
