4 Tips to Sell Your Home Faster
Since June of last year,
we have seen an increase in the inventory of homes for sale month per month.
Every spring and summer, the inventory increases because people want to sell
their home. For those with children, they may want to be in their new home for
the beginning of the school year.
If you are one of those
sellers, you may find these 4 tips helpful in getting your home sold more
quickly.
1. Make buyers feel at home
Declutter your home! Pack away all personal items
like pictures, awards, and sentimental belongings. Make them feel like they
belong in this house! According to the Profile of Home Staging by
the National
Association of Realtors,
“83% of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a
buyer to visualize the property as a future home.”
Not only will your house
spend less time on the market, but the same report mentioned that,
“One-quarter of buyers’ agents said that staging a home increased
the dollar value offered between 1 – 5%, compared to other similar homes on the
market that were not staged.”
2. Keep it organized
Since you took the time
to declutter, keep it organized! Before the buyers show up, pick up toys, make
the bed, and put away clean dishes. It is also a good idea to put out some
cookies fresh from the oven or a scented candle. Buyers will remember the smell
of your home! According to the same report, the kitchen is one of the most
important rooms to stage in order to attract more buyers.
3. Give buyers full access
One of the top four
elements when selling your home is access! If your home is available anytime, that opens
up more opportunity to find a buyer right away. Some buyers, especially those
relocating, don’t have much time available. If they cannot get into the house,
they will move on to the next one.
4. Price it right
As we mentioned at the
beginning, more inventory coming into the market guarantees there will be some
competition. You want to make sure your home is noticed. The key to selling
your house in 2019 is ensuring it is Priced to Sell Immediately (PTSI). That way, your home
will be seen by the greatest amount of buyers and will sell at a great price before
more competition comes to market!

If you want to sell your
house in the least amount of time at the best price with as little hassle as
possible, a local real estate professional is a useful guide. Call them today
