Real Estate Tips
The First Seven Weeks: Price It Right, Sell It Fast
The best chance for selling your property is within the first seven weeks. Studies show that the longer a property stays on the market, the harder it is to sell.
Price it at market value from day one
It is very important to price your property at a competitive market value right when you list it. The market is so competitive that even overpricing by a few thousand dollars could mean your house will not sell. Your first offer is usually your best offer.
Pricing at market value from the start nets you the most money in the shortest time. An overpriced home attracts fewer offers and fewer showings.
Keep it clean
If your house is squeaky clean, you can sell faster and net hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars more. If you are planning to move, get rid of old junk now. It makes the house appear larger and creates more space. Odours must be eliminated. You may not notice the smell, but buyers do.
Access for your agent
Top selling agents need to show your home, so ideally both the key and access should be readily available. K.K Prestige Property wants to sell your home, and the best way to show a house is with a key.
Paint
Paint is your best improvement investment for a greater return on your money. It makes the whole house look and smell clean and neat.
First impressions: the front yard
A buyer's first impression is your front yard, which immediately reflects the condition of the inside of your house. People enjoy their yards. Make sure the trees are trimmed so the house can be seen from the street. Have the grass mowed, trimmed and edged, sweep the walkways, clear away debris and remove parked cars. This all adds to curb appeal. If a buyer doesn't like the outside, they may not stop to see the inside.
