Consider This When Selling Your Home
For many folks, putting a home on the market conjures up nervous jitters experienced when buying their first home. Questions arise.
- What is the home worth?
- Does its condition, location and amenities warrant a higher price?
- How does it compete with other homes on the market? How will it be marketed to more than just a few local buyers?
What Is My House Worth?
Pricing can be tricky. An overpriced home can develop a stigma if it sits on the market too long and has too few showings. An under market priced home may feel risky, but often a lower price encourages multiple offers which drives up the selling price. You want a full-time experienced advisor to properly answer what the home is worth, how to properly price it, and who will listen to your wants and needs.
Should I Stage My Home?
Many people often think “staging” a home means bringing in designer furniture, fancy decor and fresh scents throughout. Home staging today means making a home look its best. More often, that means using existing furniture and decor and decluttering by reducing personal items in half. It can also entail painting, re-caulking tubs, replacing cabinetry pulls, and fixing all leaks. Above all else, clean, clean, and clean (including ceiling fan blades, blinds, lights, mirrors, and elimination of all dust bunnies). Lastly, a well-landscaped yard can go a long way to helping make good first impressions. Choice Realty agents have the experience to advise and help clients stage their homes and create curb appeal for smooth sale.
