With thousands of Real Estate listings in the Edmonton area it's more than likely there's a bit of competition on your street. Properly preparing your home for sale will bring it to a level playing field, if not a step above its competitors. 
Home buyers differ in their priorities for their new home but they all have a few things in common:
80% of them view your home online or in print for the first time
Most make a priority list of homes to view based on how they look in the advertisement
They are looking for a great home at a great price and start looking for ways to justify a lower offer
They can view a number of homes in a day with showings lasting as little as 10 minutes
Most are looking for move in ready homes
They tend to lump homes with dated décor as fixer uppers
Regardless of age; cluttered homes look smaller and less appealing
Many will place their furniture the same way they see it displayed, so if it doesn't look right they assume there is a lack of overall space rather than a problem with the furniture placement
Only 10% of them can visualize a home's potential; if it doesn't look appealing they lose interest quickly
First impressions are formed in less than 60 seconds and can cause a quick decision based on visual appeal
It's hard for them to make an emotional connection in a home that showcases personal photographs and collections because it reminds them it's someone else's home
Their ultimate goal is to find a home that looks and feels better than what they have now

Don't leave it up to a buyer's imagination - show them how wonderful your home is!
