3 Tips for Selling Your Home in This Crazy Market

We all know that the housing market is constantly fluctuating, but nothing like we have seen this past year. 

In the past year if you were a homeowner looking to sell your house all you really had to do was post your home for sale and it was likely sold in a few days. This year is shaping up to be very different; with rising mortgage rates and many other factors in play buyers are being more cautious with their real estate investments. Home owners will need to put in a little bit of work this spring if they are hoping to sell quickly and get a good offer.

Paint, paint, paint!

Typically you wont need to paint the entire house. Small painting touch ups such as baseboards and window frames will make a significant difference to the overall look of your home.

Consider your curb appeal.

A lot of sellers tend to get so wrapped up with the interior of a home that they sometimes forget that the exterior is just as important (they are, after all, buying the entire house). Minor maintenance such as checking the lawn for weeds, making sure the light outside does in fact work, clearing any spiderwebs, fixing that loose railing, and adding a seasonal wreath are simple ways to add value to your home. 

Get your home staged by professionals!

Home staging isn’t simply throwing a few nice pieces of furniture in a room and hoping for the best. It is a curated process that begins with decluttering any personal items that may not appeal to potential buyers. Furniture and art pieces are carefully selected and strategically placed. This maximizes the space in the home and allows potential buyers to visualize themselves living there. 

We know what you may be thinking.. That’s a lot of work; and yes, it can be. These are the details that sellers will need to pay attention to in order to get a great offer and sell their home as quickly as possible.
