Tips to Sell Your Home Quickly

1

Sometimes you have to move fast. Maybe you’re relocating for a new job, or you’ve just found your dream home in your next location. Whatever the reason may be, selling your home fast isn’t always possible if you aren’t prepared. According to Zillow, homes are on the market for an average of 68 days. Unfortunately, you don’t always have time like that when selling your home.

When you’re preparing to put your home on the market, you want to make sure you make the most profit. This is a balancing act between wanting to sell quickly without compromising on the cost. For the best possible scenario, use these tips below to sell your home quickly no matter your market.

1. Make Quick Upgrades

You probably don’t have time to redo the entire kitchen, but odds are there are a lot of small things you still have time to do. These small upgrades add more value to homebuyers, and they could be the tipping point between not making an offer and offering more money.

From painting the walls a neutral color to talking to an expert about how to install a new heating system, these changes will make a big impact. Every buyer wants to feel like they’ve gotten a good deal, so be sure to sweeten your own home buying deal to attract motivated buyers.

2. Skip the Clutter

When you have clutter and boxes in your home, it sends the wrong message to buyers. Clutter, extra stuff, and unclean spaces produce anxiety, and they won’t help your buyers feel like they’re entering a welcoming home. No one wants to buy a messy house.

The best thing you can do is remove the clutter. Renting a storage unit for a month could do wonders for your home selling process. Not only will prospective buyers be able to see the space without the clutter, but your home will have the illusion of being larger. This is money and time well spent.

3. Be Honest

Too many home sellers try to sugarcoat their properties. It makes sense to present your home in its best possible light, but you never want to be misleading. Every home has its pros and cons, and the more upfront you are about these shortcomings from the start, the better.

The best way to navigate any potential property pitfalls is to be honest with your real estate agent. It’s their job to deal with things like this, and they’ll know the best way to proceed. When in doubt, let them help you with your home listing wording and information.

4. Price Your Property Right

You’ve likely lived in your home for a while. You’re proud of it, and you think it’s worth as much as possible. However, you need to be realistic. Letting your pride get in the way of your pricing will set you up for failure and delays. Remember, you’re trying to move quickly. Your pricing strategy needs to be one that motivates your buyers to take action. Get to know your neighborhood market value, and keep it in that range.

5. Home Staging

Finally, the best way to sell your home is to convince your buyers it’s already a welcoming, clean space. By staging your home with warm touches and small details, it can feel like somewhere your buyers won’t want to leave.

All good staging starts with deep cleaning. Make sure there are no weird smells, smudges, or crumbs that could be unappealing to buyers. Beyond that, set the stage. Bring in a professional stager if that’s in your budget, or just light the fireplace and bake cookies. These small things make all of the difference when potential buyers step through the door.

Selling your home quickly can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be impossible. With a few smart moves, you’ll be in your new house in no time. No home is 100% perfect, so don’t be unrealistic with your expectations. As long as you’re confident and knowledgeable throughout the process, you’ll land a sale quickly.
