Why Do Some Homes Sell Quickly?

Why Some Homes Sell Quickly

Have you ever wondered why some homes sell more quickly than others? There are many reasons, including location and what the house has to offer when compared to other homes in the area. 

While there’s not much you can do to change those factors, there are steps that you can take to ensure that your home sells quickly. Here are three top tips:

1. Make sure you price your home to sell.
2. Ensure that your home has curb appeal.
3. Spend some time staging your home to sell.

Price Your Home to Sell

While you obviously want to get the best possible price for your home, the need to price your home to sell cannot be underestimated. If you price it too high, you’ll be sure to hit market resistance. So get good advice from a proven, reputable estate agent, and you’ll be much more likely to sell you home quickly. 

Give Your Home Curb Appeal

If your house doesn’t have curb appeal, buyers may refuse to even go inside. After all, if they don’t like the exterior, what would make them think they might like the interior? 

But then, what exactly is curb appeal?

Curb appeal is essentially how appealing your property is from the road: the first impression potential buyers will get when they see it. It relates to everything from the sidewalk to the front door (if this is visible from the curb). So apart from a general tidy up, you need to neaten up on both sides of your garden fence or wall (if there is one). Trim bushes; mow or cut grass; add a bit of color with pot plants; and make sure that visitors can see the name and/or number of your house. Make sure gutters and windows are clean and scrub dirt off the paintwork. Repaint if necessary. 

Do Some Clever Home Staging

Home staging is a bit like decorating – because you make your interiors look attractive – but it’s more about preparing your home to sell. 

Once you’ve completed any minor repairs; cleaned up; de-cluttered by removing personal objects and possibly some furniture, what you do is “dress” your home up for potential buyers.
