Just watching the news can give home sellers the impression that we are in a down real estate market.  Ask most home sellers and realtors about current market conditions and you will be more likely to get the idea that it's a buyers market and a tough time to sell a home.  Those assessments can be true as a general sentiment,  but the reality is that homes are selling in Colorado market and there are specific things you can do to improve your time on market and sales price results.

An article on CNN titled "Homebuyers turn the screws on desperate sellers", cites a growing trend that buyers expect ‘move-in' ready homes and will negotiate to get it.  Buyers have come to demand fresh paint, new carpet, updated interiors, new appliances and a host of other incentives to purchase a home.  These demands typically come at the expense of a reduced sales price to cover the expense, or cash out of the seller's pocket.

As a seller, by not pre-empting seller's demands by preparing your home before putting it on the market you risk not getting your desired sales price.  When negotiating,  potential buyers can often grossly over-estimate the costs for desired improvements.  By taking care of the major items buyers are looking for PRIOR to selling your home, you can have greater control over the costs of improvements and thus maximize your profits from the sale by getting your desired price.

By making the majority of the expected home improvements, you will be more likely to get your asking price and sell faster than your unimproved competition.   Making an additional small investment by having your home staged by a professional home stager can put the ‘icing on the cake' to get your home sold FASTER and for the MOST money!
