If you are planning to sell your home soon but the real estate market where you live is slow, don’t despair. It can still be done, you will just need to set your expectations and prepare yourself to do a bit more work actually SELLING your home. One of the first things you should definitely do is to work with an experienced and reputable real estate agent so they can use their knowledge and expertise to guide you and expertly market your home. Here are a few more things you can do:
1. Learn everything you can about your market. This is one of the most important things you can do to sell your home. Do your research and find out what you can about the value of your property and your competition. Work closely with your real estate agent to know what other homes in your area have sold for and what other current listings are now selling for. You could stand to lose tens of thousands of dollars if you forego this information and simply offer your property for the price you want. Both undervaluing and overpricing your home are mistakes you should avoid.
2. Once you’re finally ready to put your home on the market, make sure to price it right. Again, work closely with your real estate agent to determine the best price. Listen to their advice and look at homes similar to yours that are currently on the market. Also look at homes that aren’t selling and find out if the reason why they’re not selling is because they’ve been priced too high.
3. Make your home look as attractive and appealing as possible. There are many ways you can do this, but the two most practical, straightforward things you can do are to deep clean it and then stage it. Making sure your home is absolutely spotless and odorless can go a long way towards adding to its appeal, while staging it can highlight all its best features and make sure potential buyers notice all its good points.
