Preparing your home for selling is never as straightforward as you would hope, though something you can quickly do. What could be better than the first people to view the home love it so much they offer over your asking price in order to secure the property for themselves? In reality, you may end up with the property up for sale for months, people coming in and out of your home, and not a single interested party.
You may also find that many people are coming to wander around your home just to browse and be nosey, and maybe just to get a few interior design ideas for their own property. This really can happen, but to avoid this situation you want your property to stand out from the crowd, bring genuinely interested buyers through the door and get those great offers on the table.
3 ways to prepare and sell your house in 5 days for more
- Location is important
- Simple modernization on a budget
- Bigger jobs on a bigger budget
Location is important
Location is perhaps the single most important part of your property and can often be the make or break for people looking to buy a home. Unfortunately it is not one you can really do anything to change. If you bought in a great location originally then you can almost guarantee making money on your home upon selling it, as long as you have looked after the property while you have owned it.
Palm Beach Island real estate is really popular, and prices are on the increase which is great news for sellers, but if the location of your home is not the best, how can you be sure to maximize the potential for a profit?
Simple modernization on a budget
You can do some simple modernization on your property to make it look better and it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. If you have tiled work surfaces, or tiled walls in the kitchen or bathrooms, you can freshen up the grouting where mold and mildew might be starting to appear and you can replace any loose sealant around the bath tub and sinks for just a few dollars. It isn’t hard to do and will take just an hour or so of your time.
The yard area is also important, particularly the front of the home as this is what buyers see first. Those first impressions are extremely important. Mow the lawn, weed the flowerbeds, tidy up any shrubbery – just a few little tweaks can make your outside space look loved and cared for and again, doesn’t cost much and only takes a little bit of time to achieve.
Bigger jobs on a bigger budget
If you have the money then you might consider updating the kitchen and bathroom. Most buyers will be looking at these rooms as they are the most used rooms in a home. The other rooms’ decor can be changed very easily, but the permanent feel that a kitchen and bathroom have means that if these need replacing it can put off a buyer, or only attract really low offers.
Landscaping a garden, if you have one, can be costly but can add value to a property and give it a finished feel, and if you are lucky enough to have the space, you may consider extending the property.
Palm Beach Island real estate for example has has something to suit all budgets, so consider your target market and plan your modernizations to suit – that way you are guaranteeing your home will appeal to the buyer and will bring you enough profit to make your extra efforts worthwhile.
