5 Tips To Sell Your Home!

If you want to sell your home this spring, prepare for pent-up buyer demand. Homebuyers want to act before interest rates or home prices rise. There are listings entering the market, but overall there are not as many homes for sale as there have been at this time in previous years. Today’s Buyers are savvy shoppers! They will look at many homes and do their research to get a good deal. Here are five basic tips that will help sell your home:

1. Pay Attention to Curb Appeal - Your homes curb appeal can make or break a deal before the buyer even walks inside. So make your home shines by cleaning the gutters, trimming the trees and bushes, pull out the pressure washer and put a fresh coat of paint on the front door.

2. Pare Down Possessions - Make closet space by getting rid of or packing up what you don’t need right now. Clear the clutter, wash the windows, clean the curtains and rugs and be mindful of all sites AND smells in your home.

3. Do Pre-Inspection Repairs - If you know a home inspector is going to find something wrong with your home, go ahead and fix it first! I can pretty much guarantee it will cost you less (money and headache) to do before you have to do it at the buyer’s demand.

4. Price it Right - Even though home prices are rising in some areas, it is important to compare similar properties that have recently sold in your area. The best way to do this is to use your local Realtor. Contact the Ward Team to provide your free comparative market analysis for your home.
