There Are Ways to Add Value to Your Home That Don’t Always Require a Monetary Investment
Nearly everybody knows that this real estate market is red hot. However, regardless of homes selling extremely quickly with average days on the market of just 18 per the National Association of Realtors (NAR), there are still some things that you can do that are in your control to make sure that you can get the greatest possible return. Here is a closer look.
Make Buyers Feel at Home
Nobody wants to be inside of a home that is messy as that can be a turn-off. Take the time to declutter but also pack away any personal items such as family photos, awards, diplomas, or other similar sentimental items. The more neutral the home is, the easier a buyer can picture themselves feeling at home.
Maintain Cleanliness
Just as important as decluttering is consistent cleanliness. Be sure for every open house and private buyer showing that the home is free of items scattered around and the beds are made. This is a true way to keep from distracting buyers from what makes your home so beautiful. Also, don’t forget to keep the home smelling clean too. In particular, the kitchen should be your focus for this.
Set The Right Price
Even in today’s hot market conditions, it is just as important to have the right price out of the gate to maximize potential. If you price your home too high then you can sometimes get less in the end. Pricing too high will alienate some buyers as you are out of their price range while you may encourage others to submit a lower offer. The goal is to price it right and to let competing buyers organically drive the final sales price up.
Don’t Limit Access
In short, make the home accessible to anyone who wants to view it as you will want each and every interested party to be able to tour the home and make an offer. If your home is available at all times then that will open up more possibilities for you.
