Home selling tips - Top seven things that need fixing
Here are seven home selling tips that you don't want to ignore if you want to sell your Nanaimo home.
I've included a list below of the most common homebuyer turn-offs. These fix-ups can really make a difference in the length of time a house is on the market. Most of the home selling tips below are low-budget, fix-ups. However, don't underestimate their importance.
Home selling tips - Top seven things that need fixing
•1. Chipping or Peeling Paint - Peeling paint can make a place look shabby. Take an afternoon to sand down chips and touch them up with matching paint.
•2. An Unkempt Lawn - Another inexpensive improvement. Curb appeal is so important. The first thing a prospective buyer sees is the outside of your home. The curb appeal of your home can be the deciding factor as to whether or not a buyer wants to view the inside of your house.
•3. Worn or Dirty Carpets and Flooring- If the flooring is not too soiled try having it cleaned before replacing it.
•4. Poor Housekeeping - dust, stains and dirt - If budget allows and your time is limited get someone in to professionally clean your house. If not, wait a week or two to list the house and give your home a thorough cleaning.
•5. Clutter - Ask your Realtor to do a room-by-room walk through. Sometimes we have gotten so used to our surrounding that we are not aware how cluttered the home has become. It is important that a buyer can visualize their belongings in the house.
•6. Unpleasant odours - Pets, food, smoke and garbage - Bad odours can sink a sale. If you are a smoker or a pet owner you may need to have the house aired out. There are companies who will come in and deodorize a home.
•7. Unusual or odd paint colours - If your house is painted in unusual or odd paint colours then it does make sense to repaint. Choose neutral tones.
