Start out the New Year right!

Start the New Year right and get your Grosse Pointe home sold quicker. If you thinking of moving in Metro Detroit and selling your home here are some quick tips on how to get your home sold. If you do not know this little fact today’s home buyers want move in ready homes. Today’s home buyers want updated homes. Today’s home buyer’s want homes with little or no work.

So how does your Grosse Pointe home fit into what Metro Detroit home buyers want? If your home is not move in ready, not updated, or has lots of work then your home is going to take longer to sell. It is just that simple. Not only is your home going to take longer to sell, your home is going to sell for a lower price. Do you really want a lower price for your home? Many times it is simple fixes, low cost items that bring the biggest return.

I have seen homes that did not sell because they needed a paint job. They sat and sat on the market. Then the home was painted and the home sold. Sometimes a home that needs a paint job makes the buyers think that the home was not taken care of. Sometimes buyers think the home is not built well because it is not painted. Yes the better your home looks, the more likely the home buyer will think that you have maintained your home well. A well maintained home will help you on the home inspection too. Remember it is all about appearances.

So fixing the little things like cabinet doors that are hanging crooked help. Paint the front door, fix the hanging gutter, and do every repair that only takes time and has minimal costs. The second most important upgrade I feel many Michigan home sellers do not do is replace the carpet. You do not have to put in the most expensive carpet. You can even go bargain carpet. Buy neutral colored carpet. Replace that stained worn out carpeting. It will bring you a good return and your Grosse Pointe home will sell quicker.

So start the New Year out right and let’s get your home sold for the best price possible. If you are thinking of selling your Grosse Pointe home give me a call. I will be glad to do a walk through of your house and give you tips on what to do to make your home more saleable.
