Sell This Fall By Prepping Your Home

By now, you’ve read about how the market is changing, inventory is increasing, and interest rates are rising — but you still want to sell your home. Can you do anything to make sure that happens?

 

Luckily, there are some tried and true steps you can take. To ensure you sell your home quickly and it doesn’t stagnate on the market, take the time to prep it appropriately. Keep reading to find out more, since having a concrete plan to sell can be the key to garnering the biggest return on your investment.

  • Focus on Pricing

    When prospective buyers search for homes online, most often they filter by price so they get results within their budget. This is why when you sell, pricing your home appropriately from the outset is absolutely crucial. If you price it too high, you risk buyers either not finding it or not making offers. Conversely, if you price your home too low when you sell, buyers often wonder if there’s some underlying issue and shy away. How do you know what the perfect price is? The answer is simple: work with a trusted real estate professional from Surterre Properties®.

  • Clean, Clean, Clean

    When you go to sell, the power of a clean home cannot be overstated. In its Home Selling Checklist, Realtor.com explains, “When selling your home, it’s important to keep everything tidy for buyers, and you never know when a buyer is going to want to schedule a last-minute tour.” This is why you must not only deep clean your home once, but keep it clean when you sell — a spontaneous walk-through could lead to money in your pocket, and a buyer noticing dirt and grime is a distracted buyer.

  • Make Your House Their Home

    What is one of the most important things you need to do to sell your home? Make the buyer feel like your house is actually theirs — or very well could be soon. There are many ways to accomplish this goal, the first being to create a blank canvas by decluttering and removing personal items like photos, awards, and sentimental tchotchkes. Taking away excess furniture can also help rooms feel bigger and let buyers examine the layout, giving their imaginations plenty of room to place themselves in your home.
