We all know by now, it is a buyer's market! That means you've got more competition.You want to put your best foot forward,If your home isn't appealing and in good repair, potential buyers won't even stop.
Some sellers think it's OK to skip this step and take less, but if the house is not appealing, you may not get the chance to negotiate. Please don't blame your Realtor later, beacuse you didn't sell your home faster or with a better price. Before you want to put you house on the market is a great time to get whatever needs to be done, done! You don't need to renovate, but make sure everything looks good and works well. Easy ways to make your home stand out:
New paint. Paint the whole house, if it needs it, or just the trim, shutters and door to freshen up.
A clean entryway. Sweep or pressure-wash the front walk and porch. Polish the outdoor metalwork, clean the windows and glass, and replace any burned-out bulbs in outdoor lighting. And, if you can, add planters with flowers.
Landscaping. Think new mulch, sharp edging, a healthy lawn and beds of flowers.
Be aware that you are not the only one trying to sale your beautiful home, maximize your chances of people being excited about your listing when it hits the market.
Be smart! It is buyer's market and they are picky!!!!
