Every year, the market tends to pick up as things get warmer. Buyers start looking, and sellers want to get their houses on the market. If you’re on the listing side, there’s a lot that you can do to make sure that your house stands out, after all, you do want your house to sell quickly!
You want to make sure that your listing is available on the most prominent platforms. Whether that’s on Zillow, Realtor.com, or social media, potential buyers will most likely look at houses online before seeing them in person. Making your listing stand out can have an impact on the number of potential buyers. Having high-quality photos and detailed descriptions of the surrounding area can help with this. Adding information on activities nearby or great features the house has can help potential buyers visualize themselves living there.
With houses staying on the market a little bit longer, it leaves time for open houses and showings. There are a few important things to keep in mind when preparing a house to hit the market. A coat of paint, updated hardware, and a freshly manicured yard can do wonders! You’ll also want to depersonalize the house by doing things like taking down family photos, putting away pet items, and getting rid of clutter. It’s hard to imagine yourself living somewhere when someone else’s family photo is above the fireplace.
Doing small things, as mentioned above, can make a huge impact on buyers. It’s better to put the work in at the beginning than have your house sit on the market for longer than you’d like. When in doubt, call the experts. Staging, cleaning, and landscaping companies can help with the heavy lifting to make your property stand out!
Happy listing!
