1) Get good help
Just like before, there are novice agents and investors rushing into the booming market trumpeting that they know what they’re doing.
But they don’t. They’re getting hit hard with the nuances of financing, deal structure, and evaluation. Seriously, chances are good that real estate is your biggest investment – don’t trust just anyone’s advice. If you want great results, partner with the pros like We Buy Homes.
2) Don’t make too many improvements
Too often we see over-improved properties – those where the owners have gone too far. Even with the best of intentions, exceptional craftsmanship, and true artistic talent, it’s incredibly challenging to exceed what the market is paying. Plus, most buyers want to add their own custom touches. Get rid of all the clutter and think “neutral”.
3) Pricing matters a lot.
House pricing is one of the most critical factors to consider when selling a property. Setting the right price can determine whether a property sells quickly or languishes on the market for an extended period of time. In fact, pricing your house correctly from the beginning can mean the difference between attracting multiple offers or not receiving any offers at all.
If you’re getting a lot of showings but not a lot of offers, it could indicate that you’re pricing your house slightly above market value. While you may be able to attract potential buyers to view your property, if they feel that your asking price is too high, they may not make an offer. In contrast, if you’re not getting many showings, it could be a sign that you’re significantly overpriced, and potential buyers may not even consider your property as a viable option.
4) Be aware of the competition
Take a look at similar homes in your area that have sold recently or are currently on the market. What features do they have that your home doesn’t? What is their price point? Use this information to adjust your own pricing and make any necessary improvements to make your home more competitive.
5)Improve the curb appeal
First impressions are important, and the first thing potential buyers will see is the exterior of your home. Make sure it’s well-maintained, with a tidy yard, fresh paint, and clean windows. Consider adding some landscaping or outdoor lighting to make it stand out.
6) Stage your home
Staging your home can make a huge difference in how quickly it sells. Declutter and depersonalize your space so that buyers can envision themselves living there. Consider hiring a professional stager to help you arrange furniture and decor to showcase your home’s best features.
7) Use high-quality photos and virtual tours
In today’s digital age, buyers are likely to see your home online before they ever step foot inside. Make sure your online listing includes high-quality photos and even virtual tours to showcase your home’s best features. This will help attract more potential buyers and increase your chances of a fast sale.
