5 Ways To Sell Your Home Fast
Selling your house quickly when the real estate market isn’t really rocking can be quite a challenge. We all know there is more supply than demand and getting a house buyer fast requires that you have the edge. Here are six tips that can help you ensure that you sell your house fast:
1. Digital Presence of your Listing
It is a tech savvy world and most people prefer to check the listings on online portals such as zillow, trulia, homes.Com and realtor.Com before actually making a visit.
Ensure that your listing is mentioned and add pictures of your house especially of anything different like a swimming pool or jacuzzi, etc.
You can also post your listing on social networking sites like facebook and instagram
2. Appearance Matters
Step into a buyer’s mindset and look at your house from outside. Research suggests that up to 58% buyers make up their mind about a house even before entering it.
Ensure that your house exterior looks attractive with a decently painted wall, a proper mailbox, curb decorated with bright flowers and shrubs.
Keep your entryway clutter- free and if possible spruce it up with a vase and fresh flowers.
3. Flexible About Visits
Allow early morning or late evening visits. Working people are mostly free only on weekends, so it helps to be flexible about entertaining visitors.
Keep your house in a ready- to- be- shown condition at all times. Steer clear of pets and their accessories and any dirty dishes in the sink. The better prepared you are the more probability selling your house faster.
4. Proper Staging
It gives a positive and home-like impression to the visitors if all the space in your house has a purpose.
If there is a small space beside the kitchen, turn it into a pantry. Embellish empty corners with inexpensive vases or lamps or throw a few bean bags or chairs.
5. Set a Genuine Price
Selling a house should be a good experience for you and the buyer. Many people over price their house thinking that it’s better to leave some room for negotiation or under-price it hoping to attract buyers.
Either way, it repels buyers and even brokers as people might assume that you won’t negotiate or that the property has some problem due to which the prices are low. Price it right from the beginning and stick to it.
You may sweeten the buyer experience by giving them some credit on the closing cost, it will set you apart from other home sellers.
Closing thoughts
If you want to sell your house fast, remember that buyers look for value for money deals and also for deals that they can find. So, showcase your listing well, hire a good broker and ensure your house is warm and welcoming without being too personalized. Give your buyers some space to explore the house by stepping out or away so they don’t feel like intruders.
