Here are 5 tips to turn your home into a HOT property that buyers will fight for!

  1. Fresh paint. Don’t let drab walls underwhelm your buyers. Put a fresh coat of paint on the walls. Paint the woodwork and trim. Touch up the doors. Use paint that is light and bright and airy. Something as simple as paint can change the whole look of your home.
  2. Update lighting. First, make sure all your bulbs are replaced and working. If you have outdated light fixtures, replace them with trendy ones that will grab the buyer’s attention. New, updated light fixtures will transform your Grandma’s special into a gotta-have-it home.
  3. Fix flooring. Flooring makes a huge impact on your home. It’s one of the first things that buyers notice when they walk into a home. Have your carpet cleaned or replaced if it’s dirty and old. Update vinyl with a new look, and sand and refinish hardwood floors. Knock buyers socks off with spectacular floors.
  4. Touch up the exterior. Clean up flower beds, put down mulch, and trim trees and bushes. If your shutters are faded, give them a fresh coat of paint. Set a few pots of nice flowers near the entrance or on your patio to add a pop of color
  5. Declutter and clean. And right before you list you home, declutter! Clean off all countertops and tables, put away knick knacks and personal items. Think vacation rental home – make your home open, clean, and bright.

Take advantage of this incredible seller’s market. Turn your home into a hot property and watch buyers fight over it.

Pricing Your Home to Sell 

What is the big deal about pricing your home right to sell? As a home seller, you may be thinking, “Wow, this market is great. There are so many buyers looking for homes they’ll pay anything! I’ll just mark my price up and see what offer I get.”

Unfortunately, this kind of thinking backfires. Even though buyers are looking for homes, they are pretty savvy and know what homes are selling for. Also, their real estate agent will be checking comparable homes to see what your home should be listed for and how your home compares to other homes on the market.
