Selling Your Prescott Home In Today’s Market
June 3rd, 2008 categories: Home Sellers
In a Buyer’s market, Sellers need to do everything possible to make their home stand out among the competition. You want buyers to be excited about getting inside your home, and remember it for all of the right reasons. Here are some tips.
Curb Appeal is more important than ever…
When Buyers have 25 to 30 homes to choose from in any particular price range, you need to make your home stands out! A clean, fresh first impression is priceless. Make sure that your front yard is neat, clean and inviting to potential Buyers. Repair cracks in the driveway, touch up the exterior paint, plant some flowers.
De-Clutter
It’s important that buyers see the home and not be bombarded with your personal belongs. Be sure that your home decor is neat and simple. In this case, less is more!
A Little Touch Up And A Little Paint
Painting is relatively inexpensive, and creates a big impact. Fresh, clean rooms make a great first impression. If you’re re-painting, use warm neutral colors. In a buyers market, it’s important for your home to be in “move-in condition”, or as close to it as possible.
Bathrooms And Kitchens
These rooms sell houses. Make sure these rooms are crisp and clean. If your cabinets are tired and out of date, a coat of paint and new pulls can make them look like new. Keep the counter tops in both kitchen and bath free from clutter, it makes the room look bigger. If you’re going to spend money upgrading, these are the room that produce the best return on your investment.
The Back Yard
People love to hang out in the back yard. The same rule applies for the back yard as the front. Plant some flowers, make sure everything is neat, trimmed and inviting. You want potential buyers to see themselves having a summer BBQ in your back yard.
If your home has curb appeal inside and out, it will greatly increase your chances of getting offers and ultimately sold!
