Selling Your Home? Think Like a Buyer

If you are trying to sell your home in Coos Bay, consider thinking like a home buyer. Walk around your home, what features do you like? What parts of your home need work? From the color of the paint on your walls to how clean your carpet appears, the details are important and the details are what will either attract or repel potential home buyers.

When it comes to paint choose a neutral color. This doesn't mean a home has to be painted white but a living room certainly shouldn't be painted hot pink or orange. Taste is subjective and leaving color basic is always best.

The flip side of improving your North Bend home for sale is that a recent psychological study shows that new features like new carpet, fresh paint, new cabinets, and the like signal a Band-Aid approach when listed in ads. By all means spruce up your home but point out the great features of your home without using words like "new", "newly" and the like. Apparently some home buyers see these words as bandages covering a deeper wound. Attention to detail will help sell your Coos Bay home in a more timely manner.
