Five Keys for Selling Your House This Spring

Early spring in real estate means the bustling spring market is just getting started, and now is the perfect time to list your house, to make sure it’s seen by the most spring buyers possible. The last few years have seen a lot of changes in the way people buy homes, so in order to be competitive, there’s a few things you need to take care of, to make sure you sell your house quickly and get top dollar for it.

1. ENTICE BUYERS WITH ATTRACTIVE PHOTOGRAPHY

There’s nothing worse when searching for homes to come across a house and you just can’t tell what you’re looking at. A clear set of high-quality images that accurately showcase your property is key to making buyers want to book a tour. Photos should be taken at eye-level, and be wide enough to include most of a room in each shot. This lets buyers see your house the way they would see it if they were walking around it.

2. INVITE BUYERS WITH VIEWING ACCESS

One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a seller is limiting the days and times when buyers have access to view your home. With many of the restrictions and precautions of the last few years lifted or eased, buyers are keener than ever to get a close look at what they might be buying. Giving them more opportunity means more potential buyers for you.

3. IMPRESS BUYERS WITH CURB APPEAL

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Given the right exterior, a buyer could be ready to buy before they even open the front door. Fresh landscaping, a tidy front porch, a clean welcome mat, and many other small improvements at the front of your house can help sell it from the moment a potential buyer arrives.

4. ATTRACT BUYERS WITH AN AMAZING INTERIOR

A potential buyer wants to picture themselves in their new home. The easiest and best way for you to give this experience to buyers is to stage your property. Giving each room its own clear purpose allows buyers to see how the space can be used, and lets them start imagining how they would arrange things in their new home.

5. MOTIVATE BUYERS WITH THE RIGHT PRICE

This is probably the most important aspect of selling your home in today’s real estate market. If a house is priced competitively, it’s going to sell. In order to give yourself the best chance at success, work with a trusted real estate professional. They will know what’s happening with home prices in your area and understand the factors that are affecting the market right now. Now is the time to reach out to your realtor and get started on turning your winter property into a spring sale!
