Happy April 1st! Today is Pat’s birthday – Happy Birthday to Pat!
And, it’s our last day of Spring Break with Jack & Kelly. We’ve had a blast together and with friends and I’m looking forward to diving into the busy Spring season of helping individuals and families buy, sell & build homes!
More and more people are getting their homes ready to sell. But with recent shifts in real estate, this year’s spring housing market will be different from the frenzy of the past several years. To sell your house quickly, without hassles, and for the most money, be sure to follow these four simple tips:
1. Make Sure You Give Buyers Access
One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a seller is limiting the days and times when buyers have access to view your home. In any market, if you want to maximize the sale of your house, you can’t limit potential buyers’ access to view it. If it’s not accessible, it could cost you by sitting on the market longer and ultimately selling for a lower price. It’s still a seller’s market so be prepared to be displaced for a few days while multiple buyers ask for private showings each day.
2. Make Your Home Look as Good as Possible on the Inside
You home should look inviting. I can give you expert advice on ideal staging for your home. Clean and decluttered homes look better in the listing photography and allow buyers to view themselves and their belongings in your home. Simply updating a room with fresh paint, steam cleaning carpets, or removing clutter from closets, counters and bookshelves can make a big impact.
3. First Impressions Matter
“You never get a second chance to make a first impression” matters when selling your house. Often, the first impression a buyer gets is what they see as they walk up to the front door. Putting in the work in on the exterior of your home is just as important as what you stage inside. Freshen up your landscaping & the front door to improve your home’s curb appeal so you can make an impact with potential buyers.
4. Price It Right
This is the most important aspect of selling your home in today’s real estate market. If a house is priced competitively, it’s going to sell quickly. To do this, you have to know what’s happening with home prices in your area and understand the factors that are affecting the market right now. That’s why it’s best to work with a trusted real estate professional who can ensure you list your house at the right price. I have an excellent track record of pricing homes to sell and they are still selling in a week on average.
