Selling your home in a “Buyers Market” can be a daunting task and feel a bit overwhelming at times.

Here are a few steps to help smooth the way for a quicker and less stressful sale

Pricing the home

The most important factor in selling a home is setting the price.  Everyone wants to get the best price for the sale of their home, however  it is important to be realistic when setting the price.   Sellers must understand how pricing in determined under the current market.  Setting an unrealistic price will reduce buyer interest and put the seller at a disadvantage right from the start.

Condition of the Home

Make changes to your home to attract buyers.  Remove wallpaper, paint, unclutter so buyers can picture themselves living in the home with their furniture.  Buyers prefer neutral colors in both paint & carpets.  Replace the stained carpets if needed.  Repaint the bold colors to a softer, more neutral tone.  Be careful to not over do it.  Keep in mind that if your home has not been updated with newer kitchens or baths, you may be better off pricing the home to sell as opposed to spending too much and hoping to get it back.

Presentation

Look at the condition of your home through the eyes of a Buyer.  The presentation of your home plays a vital role in attracting potential buyers.  A good  first impression will go a long way in the feeling a buyer gets when viewing your home.  Buyers will examine every nool and cranny of your home when the begin to think about making an offer.

Inspect your home

Identify and fix any problems before you put the home on the market.   Getting these repairs done upfront will only help to sell your home.  A buyer will have a professional home inspection before the sale of the home, so get ahead of this to avoid any problems with the inspection.
