QUICK FIXES TO SELL YOUR HOME FAST By Al and Jean Batson HomeSmart
H
omes that languish on the market generally don’t sell for one or two reasons. Being priced too high is usually the number one reason a property doesn’t sell. Whether the property is in primo condition/location or needs a total remodel, price is the key. Buyers have lots to choose from so if a home is priced higher than the market indicates and no offers have been forthcoming that’s likely the problem. A buyer isn’t concerned about a seller’s financial situation or how much they paid they just want to purchase at a fair price. Always be sure the home is clean and tidy. Declutter things you’re
going to dispose of and/or pack things you plan to take with you and put them in storage. A little fresh paint and basic repairs are always wise. Get your carpets cleaned. If you want to take it up a notch, replace the counter tops if they’re out of date. Quartz or Granite give kitchens and bathrooms a fresh look and that’s what buyers want (it brings a higher value visually). Buyers interested in taking on a home to remodel will need to purchase below comparable homes that are up-to-date because, of course, they must evaluate the cost of updating so the total investment is in line with the current market. If a home isn’t current, you must price accordingly.
