Due to the influx of new buyers and renewed motivation in the first few months of the year, the real estate market always starts the year strongly. There is never a better time to start if you're thinking about selling your house in 2024.
As soon as "For Sale" signs begin to appear everywhere in the community, you know you'll have to take extraordinary measures to sell your house for the best price. Fortunately, there are a few essential actions you can take to make your house stand out in a crowded neighborhood.
Assess your property objectively
When searching for the ideal property, three factors stand out: price, location, and size. What happens though is that you can't physically move the house to a better location in your dream state and the price will remain out of your reach. However, you are able to change the way buyers perceive the house. Give attention to any kind of repair work or cosmetic finish before letting guests in. Imagine yourself in that perspective and perform an honest appraisal of your property. Take a look at some similar homes in the area you are about to sell and pay attention to how they are presented. If your property is not up to the mark, contemplate making some improvements that can make it more attractive to prospective buyers.
Your Living Areas Should Be Simple
You need to make a roomy, ample space that would be attractive to as many buyers as possible when preparing your house for sale. Begin with removing all the clutter and simplifying and getting rid of what is excess in your living areas. With this process of de-clutter your house will be less messy, which may allow the prospective buyers to picture themselves living there.
Give your home a unique character.
It's crucial to declutter, but it's equally critical that the area feels cozy. Keeping everything hidden in cabinets may appear neat, but it can also give the impression that a room is cold and alienating, especially when captured on camera. A space can be brightened and made to feel more inviting with a few bright cushions and artwork, especially in the kitchen and living areas that are used the most. Painting the bathroom white will help it feel cleaner, so that's what we advise. Maintaining a neutral color scheme in the bedroom is also a smart idea because it promotes calmness.
Show flexibility for viewings
To sell your property successfully, be flexible with viewings. Some sellers hinder their property sales by limiting viewing times to suit themselves. Conducting 22% of viewings outside office hours increases potential buyers. It's best for agents to have keys for convenient access. Although they are inconvenient, most buyers are drawn to evening and weekend viewings. Being present during a viewing is not recommended as it impedes the ability of buyers to provide candid feedback and to picture themselves in the space.
When selling a property, realistic pricing is fundamental. Overvaluing can turn off potential buyers, reduce viewings, prevent buyers from realizing the full potential of the property, and impede negotiations. A reasonable and accurate asking price attracts a range of buyers.
