Preparing Your Home for Sale
Now that your home is clean and ready to show, it’s time to focus on marketing. The right price and professional photos are essential to a successful sale.
How to Set the Right Price
- Market Research: First, work with an agent to compare similar homes in your area. This will help you set the right price for your home.
- Consider the Market: In a seller’s market, you can price higher. However, in a buyer’s market, it’s important to be more competitive with your price.
- Be Flexible: If your home sits for over two weeks, it may be priced too high. Be prepared to adjust the price to attract more buyers.
Hire a Professional Photographer
In today’s world, most buyers start their search online. High-quality photos will make your listing stand out. A professional photographer knows how to highlight your home’s best features, using the right lighting and angles. This can lead to more views and showings.
Create a Compelling Listing
Instead of using generic phrases, focus on specific features of your home. For example: “This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow features a remodeled kitchen, open-concept living space, and a spacious backyard.”
Consider Virtual Tours or Videos
Virtual tours or video walkthroughs give buyers a better sense of your home. Some buyers may prefer to view a home online before scheduling a visit. This option could lead to more offers.
