Why is it some home sellers struggle more than a low flow toilet while others get a contract right away?
Could it be the fast sellers have better marketing tactics? Perhaps. To help with that here are six things you can do to sell your house faster and for more - even in a tough buyers market. In no particular order they are staging, pricing the house right, creating curb appeal, flaw free presentation, using a good agent, and offering tempting incentives. If you diligently follow these tips the SOLD sign will appear before you know it.
In a soft market it's vital you price your house right. Using the sales price of comparable homes sold recently as your guide. That's a true indicator of what the market is paying for similar properties. New listings priced right shouldn't linger because buyers are watching for reasonably priced options. Don't miss your opportunity.
Get the house professionally inspected. This will highlight potential problems before they become a problem identified by the buyers inspector. Plus an inspected house is like a certified used car. Buyers can bank on the fact that a third party says there is nothing materially wrong with your house that hasn't been addressed.
Appearance is everything. Which is why some find hiring a pro to help stage their house to be a good investment. This goes beyond paint and elbow grease. It's a way to help buyers see themselves in a house that is appealing and fits their needs. Think of your house as a product. You want to impress with what you're offering. Staging is a way to do so.
Turn on the curb appeal. You want the external appearance, or curb appeal, to dazzle any buyers as they drive up. Things like painting the front door, planting flowers, laying down fresh mulch are proven ways to make the first and best impression you can.
Juicy financial incentives vary both in type and how much they help seal the deal. Still it's not uncommon to pay the closing costs, throw in an HDTV, lawn care or maid service to win over buyers. Although I feel if your house is priced right, you likely won't need to resort to such tactics to close the deal.
Experience counts when it comes to real estate agents. Especially in a market glutted with houses for sale. So find a full time Realtor who knows the area. One who's been in the business during both boom and bust times. And don't be suckered in by any who promise to get more for your house than you know it's worth.
Granted these six ideas are just a starting point. But they can also take you a good part of the way in cinching the deal. Don't put a house on the market without carefully considering each for your situation. - 31386
