Selling your home in a slow market can be unnerving. Times when it’s a slow market, means you have to sell your home to the potential buyer who comes along. With our tips, we will make the impossible possible. All you need is positive energy and the right tools.
Know your buyer
A crucial part of selling your house is by understanding your market. This includes defining your competition and establishing the price at which you should be marketing your property. Most property owners don’t do their homework correctly and have a horrible surprise when no one wants to pay the exorbitant price for their house. That being said, you can also face issues when undervaluing your property. To ensure you do not make that very mistake, research. Speak to local realtors, look online, read newspapers, to ensure your house is priced accordingly.
Attract your buyer
When selling your home, put yourself in your buyer’s shoes and detach yourself from your home. Once you can do that, then you begin attracting your buyer. Have a realtor come round to evaluate the property. This is your opportunity to ask the realtor if there’s something you could add to make the sale faster. Go around your house and fix any small things that need to be fixed. Decide if there are any renovations you can do to the house that will make it more appealing. This may be as simple as cutting the grass and adding a few flowers. You can take it further by painting, upgrading windows, et cetera. The choice is yours. Once your house looks more aesthetically pleasing, you have a much better chance. All the upgrades may just have put you back on the map. By doing so, you will set yourself apart from your competition.
To ensure your buyer has seen your property at it’s best, clean all the clutter from your home. Try to leave minimal furniture, remove personal pictures, and day time viewings are preferred. Day time viewings, allow the natural light to display your home at it’s best. The potential buyer will see your home from a new perspective, as they can view the space as open, and they can imagine how they would move in.
To further attract your buyer, make the most out of your open houses. Your home should be the show home of their dreams. If your home has working fireplaces, fire them up, so the home appears cozy. If your home has a beautiful kitchen, maybe bake your best cookies for when the potential buyer arrives. That puts a smile on everyone’s faces and a positive vibe upon entry. If you have a separate dining room that you usually use for special occasions, use this opportunity to jazz it up. Set the table with your finest chinaware and glasses. Your buyer may be in awe, and you may just be receiving a cash offer.
The Sale
Selling your home in a slow market does require you to go the extra mile. It requires you to think outside the box and become creative. Once you’ve completed all the above, all you now need is to ensure you close a deal. With the above tips and a competitive price, you’re in with a very good chance. Do your homework, and your house will be sold in no time.
