4 Tips for Maximizing The Value Of Your Home

Regardless of market conditions you should always try to increase your home’s value

It is no secret that the real estate market these days is red hot. However, regardless of homes selling extremely quickly with an average days on market of just 18 per the National Association of Realtors (NAR), there are still some ways that you can take control of your home to make sure that you can get the greatest possible return when it comes time to sell. Here is a closer look.

Make Buyers Feel at Home

No buyer wants to be touring a home that is messy as that can be a big turn off. Take the time to declutter but also stow away any personal items including family photos, awards, diplomas or other similar sentimental items. The more neutral the home is, the easier a buyer can envision themselves living there and feeling at home. 

Cleanliness

Just as important as decluttering is cleanliness, but continuously. Make sure for every open house and private buyer showing that the home is free of miscellaneous items around and the beds are made. This is a good way to keep from distracting buyers from what makes your home an ideal fit for them. Additionally, don’t forget to keep the home smelling clean too. In particular the kitchen should be your primary focus for this.

Set The Right Price

Even in today’s red hot market it is still just as important to have the right price out of the gate to maximize potential. If you price your home too high then you can sometimes get a lower sale price in the end. Pricing too high will exclude some buyers as you are out of their price range while you may encourage others to submit a lower offer. The goal is to price it accurately and to let competing buyers organically drive the final sales price up.

Don’t Limit Access

Make the home easily accessible to anyone who wants to view it as you will want each and every interested party to be able to tour the home and make an offer. If your home is available at all times then that will open up more possibilities for your offers.

If you want to sell your home in the shortest amount of time and for the highest price, today’s market is a great environment to make this happen. Contact me today and let us help you with your sale.
