Home Staging: To take it a step further, professional home staging services are another way you can dress up your home to sell.

3. Be Aware of the Real Estate Market’s Price

As a general rule of thumb, price your home ahead of the real estate market trend in your neighborhood. Compare your homes current features, amenities, and upgrades to recently sold homes in your area to determine an asking price.

If the real estate market in your neighborhood is on a decline, price your property slightly below or at comparable home prices for a faster sell. If you are living in a desired neighborhood where asking prices are continuing to climb, you may be able to list your home slightly above current home prices. Ask Pam Treece for a free home evaluation.

4. Be Flexible

Be as flexible as possible when it comes to opening your home to potential buyers. Make sure to accommodate their schedule, even if it goes against your own. You must remember that you’re not the only home in the neighborhood for sale. If your competitors allow a buyer that is interested in your property to view theirs at their convenience, you may very well lose your potential sale.

Flexibility can be the difference between a “for sale” sign and a “sold” one. A majority of home buyers favor a home that is readily available. Agents that can be more accommodating than their competitors can sell a home faster.

5. Be Prepared to Negotiate

Be prepared to negotiate with buyers who place an offer on your home. Depending on the real estate market, you may have leverage to ask for more than the offer is for. Keep in mind that when the market is on a decline, the best price you will receive for your home in short term is the price you negotiate today.

With proper preparation, your home should sell faster and at a higher price than your competitors. The steps you take to prepare your home for sell will be time and money well spent.
