Selling your home is an involved process that affects your family and your future. Before you begin this process, you'll want to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information. When should you sell? How do you get the best price? What kinds of renovations should be made prior to the sale?
We can assist you with in answering all of the the above.
There are 3 important factors in selling your home: Price, Promotion and Presentation.
Price is always key. Houses priced too high are not going to sell quickly in any market. It's easy to overestimate what your house is worth, especially in hotter markets like ours. On the other hand, if a house is priced too low, not only do you not get the most money possible, but people may assume that there is something wrong with it and not make an offer.
We can help by giving you a realistic range for what you can expect. Before you set your heart on a price, take a look at where similar houses have actually been selling (not just what sellers are asking) and adjust up or down for your own home's features or flaws. Starting with too high of a price may be the worst thing you can do, because your greatest opportunity for selling your house is immediately after it goes on the market. That's when the majority of buyers will see the house.
Promotion, or lack thereof, can also determine how long your home sits. It is not always as simple as posting a 'For Sale' sign in the yard and waiting for the phone to ring.
Even in the best markets, you need to make sure your house gets exposed to the right buyers. Having an agent aggressively market your home will give you the best chance at bringing in the potential buyers.
These days, the online listing may be as important as the sign in the front yard. The vast majority of buyers start their property search on the internet to help narrow down their list.
The more pictures you have of your house, both inside and out, the better. Other information, such as maps, neighborhood info and details about your home's best features also bring in buyers.
Presentation of a home influences the way buyers feel about it. Buyers might be rational about price, location and layout, but the decision to make an offer or keep looking is often emotional.
Staging a house properly before it goes on the market can effect not only reduce the length of time it takes to sell, but often bring in a higher price. Comparable homes that are not staged as well, typically sit longer and sell at a reduced amount (5% or more).
Landscape the yard, remove the clutter, clean the windows, touch up paint and take care of anything else that buyers might add to their mental "to do" list. It is also a good idea to pack away excessive knickknacks, family photos and extra furniture that could distract the buyer and make it difficult for them to picture themselves in the house.
Close your eyes, walk in your front door and think about how your house smells. Pet odor, cigarette smoke, mildew, and other unpleasant smells make a lasting impression. Deal with the source of the stink, rather than just trying to cover it up with candles, air fresheners or fresh baked cookies.
It also helps if the owners and their pets are inconspicuous or absent during showings so the buyers can comfortably view the home without feeling crowded, distracted or pressured.
