Here’s what you need to know about selling your home for top dollar.
Are you looking to sell your home this year? If you are, you should know that our market isn’t as frenzied as it was a few years ago. Now, you need to put in a little work if you want to get the most money possible for your home. That’s why today, I’m sharing my best tips to help you sell quickly and for more money:
1. Price it right. It’s tempting to list at a high price as a negotiating tactic, but the truth is that your price is part of your marketing. Fewer buyers will look at your home if it’s priced too high, which will lower competition and ultimately lead to a lower price.
2. Fix the important problems. No buyer wants to inherit a property with a bunch of issues. Solve any obvious problems with the home you can, and it will go a long way to helping buyers fall in love with your property.
“The secret to a great sale is to create a bidding war.”
3. Try to create a bidding war. The secret to a great sale isn’t to list at a high price but to create a bidding war. This can be easier said than done, yet your agent might be able to help you create this situation.
4. Make your house as empty as possible. Leave your home as a blank slate so your buyers can picture themselves living there.
5. Find the monthly holding cost of the home. It’s not free to own an empty home, even when it’s on the market. Budget 1% of the home to take hidden costs while selling.
