The Greater Nashville area housing market is slowing down and home buyers now have more inventory to choose from. Let me help you sell your home faster with these smart tips.
Even if everything goes well, selling your home can be a stressful process. In some cases, you may need to sell quickly. There are some things you can do to help your home sell faster.
A home that looks good will sell more quickly than one that is not well maintained. Simply keeping your house clean will go a long way toward encouraging potential buyers. Keeping the lawn and shrubbery neatly trimmed is important because those are things that can be seen by just driving by. Pressure washing the outside of your house will give a good impression as well.
Flowers and tasteful lawn accents can make your home look more attractive and add interest. If you are not a green thumb, you can find hanging baskets at a discount store. They are inexpensive, easy to care for, and they do not require planting.
If you can do it yourself, a fresh coat of paint can make your house more attractive without taking up too much time. You could even hire someone to do it if you can find a painter who is not booked up. New paint makes your home look more polished and gives the impression of it being well cared for.
Making any necessary repairs will make your home more appealing to buyers. Even minor repairs can do wonders for a home’s desirability. Replacing old wallpaper, for example, can be done quickly and inexpensively. Yet it has quite an impact on the look of your home.
Even rearranging your furniture can help your home sell more quickly. Arranging items in a way that makes a room look larger can work to your advantage. Furniture can also be moved to better showcase your home’s assets. You could move large items that block windows or architectural highlights out of the way, for instance.
If your home needs repairs but you prefer not to make them, being upfront about them can actually save you time and headaches. Many buyers will require a home inspection before closing the deal and it will reveal any problems present. Disclosing any known problems and adjusting the asking price accordingly can work to your advantage.
If you are looking to sell your home quickly, price is an important factor. While you probably want to get the most money possible out of your home, selling quickly will likely require you to set the price somewhat lower than you might otherwise set it. Still, setting it a bit higher than the bottom dollar allows you and potential buyers room to negotiate.
An important factor in how quickly your house sells is how easily potential buyers can find it. If you are listing with a realtor, he or she will take care of the marketing. If you are selling your own home, you will need to place ads and put up signs to make sure people know your house is for sale.
Making some minor adjustments to your home, pricing it competitively, and making sure buyers know about it can help it sell more quickly. People can’t buy what they don’t know about, so proper marketing is essential. A home that looks nice and is priced to sell will attract more prospective buyers.
