Buyers Want a Home That is Move-in Ready, Not One to Get Ready

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Keller Williams Realty Black Hills

KitchenBuyers want a home that is move-in ready, not one they have to get ready to move into…

The market has always been competitive, but with all the inventory currently available, buyers today can be even more picky and choosy. As a seller, you must be ready to compete. Do not gamble with buyers choices, BE the buyers choice.

Offer a home that looks like it does not require a lot of work to live there. Colors should be neutral and soft tones, adaptable with most styles and choices of perspective buyers.

Sell the space! You are moving, so go ahead and pack up what is not necessary to open up your living space. Buyers are buying every square inch you have to offer, so be sure and let them see it. Anything you can do without, go ahead and get it out!

Any touch-ups and refreshing that can make a big difference. Let buyers fall in love with your space. Allow them to visualize what it will be like to live in your home, not the work necessary to make it livable. By following these few simple steps, your home will standout against the competition,  and keep the buyers remembering your space!

Thanks Elite Team! We have found adding a professional stager to our team, and making it part of our offered services, has made a huge difference in how long our listing stay on the market. Trish averages 8 days on the market for previously vacant homes, that she stages. We have countless stories of clients that have had their house on the market for a year with other firms. After signing with us, and staging their home properly, it sells withing a matter of weeks. Most sellers do not realize the importance of a propely stagged home.
