Always is a good time to sell, mostly that time we suggest selling a Florida property in the spring or summer. School
is out, relocation is popular, and the weather is conducive for going house hunting. Statistics show that more people
buy when it’s warm, so you have substantial pool of prospective buyers. If your house needs some work, it’s time to
get serious about paying for repairs and updates in the early parts of the year.
In buyer's markets, buyers have more choices and can take their time. If the home isn't exactly what a buyer wants, a
buyer will pass it over and keep looking. If you're a seller in a buyer's market, patience is key. In urban areas, well-
priced homes should get an offer within three weeks. For example, if a listing lingers on the market longer than 30
days, often buyers will attempt to offer less, erroneously believing this gives them cause to lowball.
In seller's markets, homes tend to sell faster because there are more buyers than sellers, which increases
competition among buyers. When more than one buyer is trying to buy the same home, that can result in a bidding
war with offers received coming in above list price. It's not unusual for a home to sell in a seller's market in less than a
week.
Curb appeal is important- to impulse buyers, but not if it’s ‘siding’ over a problem, fresh paint over rotten wood, new plants in drainage field…. Old growth plants well-tended show more attention.
A look inside will tell you more about the value than just initial appeal. Yes, it’s important, but to base its value on curb appeal rather than ‘ the bones’ of the home is foolish. You can upgrade to your liking with plants and grass- easier than rewiring, plumbing, mold problems.
A well-presented home usually sells faster, and at a higher price. Start by de-cluttering – put excess belongings and furniture into storage and you’ll make your home look bigger. Tidy up the garden and make sure the front of your home makes the right first impression.
Pre-sale home renovations can significantly increase your property’s value and appeal to potential buyers, ultimately leading to faster and more profitable sale.
By addressing areas that potential buyers find desirable, such as updating kitchens and bathrooms, improving curb appeal, and enhancing energy efficiency, sellers can attract more buyers and potentially command a higher price.
Yes, paying for a home stylist can be worthwhile, especially when selling a home. Staging a home with a professional stylist can lead to a higher sale price and quicker sales, potentially offering a good return on investment. However, the cost of staging can vary significantly, and it’s important to weigh the potential benefits against the expense.
Spending time preparing each room and space of your property for sale can make a big difference to how much you sell your property for.
