If you’re selling your first home, you may find that it’s not as easy as you initially thought. You may have found the perfect next home, but if you have to wait until your current home sells to be able to move, you may be wondering what you can do to speed the process along. There’s much more you can do than baking cookies so potential buyers have that wonderful smell to walk into. Here’s a list of some alternative ways to make sure your house sells.
Are you thinking of selling your house? Have you been itching to move for a while but didn’t trust the market to stay stable? The property market isn’t all doom and gloom, and even in a seemingly dismal market, people will always be upping, moving and buying houses. If you are looking to increase the value or sell quickly, here are five more tips to add on to our previous post, to make it all that much easier.
Pundits and experts have pegged 2013 as the year that the housing market will truly start to rebound, showing a significant increase in sales and perhaps even a bump in pricing. This is apparently thanks to a foreclosure market that is finally drying up, giving homeowners a chance to compete for sales. But don’t start counting your chickens before they hatch; we’re still in a recession. And if you’ve had your home on the market for a while with nary a nibble, you can no doubt attest to the continuing sorry state of our economy. Of course, the recession may not be totally to blame for your real estate woes. There could be a number of roadblocks that are preventing you from attracting buyers. Here are just a few that could be thwarting your efforts and how you can go about fixing them.
It won’t pass inspection. Unless you’re intent on selling your home “as is” (a prospect that won’t appeal to very many buyers unless the price is right, which is to say bargain basement), you need to fix any violations uncovered by a home inspector. The reason is this: if your home doesn’t pass inspection, no bank will loan a buyer the money to purchase it. Luckily, all you have to do is get your property up to code. The home inspector will give you a detailed list of what needs to be fixed (and possibly even recommend vendors for the job).
High price. You obviously want to get the best value from your home when it comes time to sell, but in a depressed market you’re going to have to temper that urge with a healthy dose of reality. You’re not going to get anywhere near the same value as you would have before the bubble burst, so put that thought out of your head. The best you can really hope for is the top end of your current market, but even that is a risky gamble. Of course, if you overestimate the interest in your home, you can always drop the price, but that, too, could be problematic (read on).
