3 Tips That Will Help You Sell Your Home in
60 Days or Less
It doesn't
matter where you live, what kind of home you have or what time of year it is.
If you're looking to sell your home quickly, you'll need to do a better job
than other local homeowners who are competing against you. Try these top three
tips to secure a sale within 60 days.
Enhance Its
Appearance
When it
comes to selling your home, looks are everything. If the appearance of your home is impressive,
it will be more inviting to potential buyers.
Remove any items that make the home distinctly yours, such as family
photos, kids' toys, or personal items.
Ensure that every space is meticulously clean and clutter free to demonstrate
that it is a well-kept property.
It is also
extremely beneficial to neutralize the design of your home. Maybe you love the red walls in your living
room or the fluffy pink area rug in your bedroom, but this doesn't leave much
room for others' imagination. Make your
home a blank canvas upon which buyers can project their own idea of a dream
home.
Price Wisely
While
everyone would love to sell their property for more than market value,
inflating your asking price could delay a sale.
Research the asking prices of comparable properties in your neighborhood
and consult a reputable real estate professional for advice.
There are
several other strategies you can use to price your home for a quick sell. Psychologically, certain prices are more attractive
to buyers even if there's marginal difference; a home priced at $599,000 is
more attractive than a home that's priced at $600,000. Although there's marginal difference between
these two prices, the home that's priced just under the century mark will
likely sell quicker.
Go The Extra
Mile
One of the
best ways to make your home stand out from the competition is to offer
something that no one else is. Whether
it's high quality photos or a video tour of your home, your listing can provide
viewers with a unique look at your property that encourages them to become
attached to it right away.
Several
other incentives can be offered to help you close quickly, such as including
home appliances and transferring your warranties over to the buyer. You can also offer to cover their closing
costs, either partially or fully, which is another financial perk that will set
your home apart from the rest. Everyone
likes a gift-with-purchase, but few sellers offer them.
