How should you Prepare your
Home for the Spring Selling Season?
I am about to tell you so stay tuned.
Hello I am Sushma and
thank you for visiting my channel.
Spring is an ideal time for you
to sell your home.
The sunny weather and the longer daylight hours
make it appealing for people
to go house hunting.
With a lot of buyers looking
to purchase their homes,
as well as sellers doing open houses,
the competition can be quite high.
With that in mind,
you would need to prepare
your home in a way that
will draw in buyers.
How do you get your home ready for the spring
selling season?
Here are 4 tips to help you focus on areas
that matter the most.
First tip.
Enhance the interior
Staging your property helps you to pick out
specific buyers as well as set a better price
for your home.
You can do the staging sometime
in February and
you can ask help from your agent in determining
how much you would set
for your home when you list it in the market.
To focus attention on your property’s
top features, you could rent furniture and other
additional accessories such as artworks
and personal collections.
You can also remodel some rooms into an office
or nursery depending on your target buyer.
Allow natural light to get in by drawing back
the blinds and curtains
and then add natural elements like
fresh flowers and other houseplants.
You might also want to unclutter house items
you’re not using.
It will make the home look more spacious and
allow potential buyers to imagine how they would
personalize the home themselves.
Keep everything in the house in good condition
and neatly arranged.
Remove cobwebs, steam clean the carpet,
clean the windows and other fixtures.
Lastly, you would want to pay close attention
to the bathroom and kitchen.
Next.
Clean the exterior
Many buyers decide within seconds of seeing
the outside of a home
if the property is right for them.
To make a good first impression,
tidy up your front and back yard once the weather
becomes more tolerable.
You can start taking out all the clutter and
other unattractive items like worn-out furniture.
Clean up your driveway and look for any debris
that winter might have left behind.
Third.
Do pre-listing repairs
Try to take a tour of your own home and
imagine yourself in a buyer’s shoes.
To have an objective look,
ask yourself these questions:
Are there leaky taps?
Are there faulty switches?
Are any of door-knobs loose?
Is the paint peeling off the walls?
These are some important things to help you to
notice any defect or
flaw in the interior of your home.
If your house is well-maintained,
then it will justify your asking price.
Also, you can hire your own home inspector
to check important areas like,
HVAC, plumbing, mold and mildews, appliances,
electrical, roof conditions, structure, and
foundation, etc.
And Fourth.
Hire an expert
Working with a real estate agent can be beneficial
in selling your home quickly for top dollar.
They understand the real estate market very well.
They will work closely with you not only
in the sales but also in staging and
preparing your property for the spring sale.
They can give you tips on the current home
trends as well as what buyers look for
when they tour homes.
Their priority will be making sure your property will
stand out during the busiest time in the market.
They can also tell you if you have the accurate
value for your home and
help make sure you have a smooth process in
dealing with the contracts and other paperwork.
So these were some of my tips on how to make
your house more appealing.
