Selling your New Buffalo home may seem like an overwhelming task given the current buyers’ market. And, while buyers do have a number of homes from which to choose; selling your New Buffalo home in a timely manner, while still getting a good price on your home, is something our New Buffalo Real Estate agents do really well!
As the team here at Shoreline Property Advisors, our goal is to guide you through the ins and outs of selling your home. There are a lot of small details that require an experienced New Buffalo Real Estate agent; and we’re here to help!
One of the questions we are asked from sellers is what they can do to help sell their home. In the current market, sellers are more than willing to lend a hand to help ensure their home has those qualities New Buffalo buyers are expecting in their home. In response, we’ve put together five tips we think are practical ways you can help your home sell.
1. Research- While your New Buffalo Real Estate agent will provide you with comparables of what other homes in your neighborhood are selling for, taking the time to do a little research on your own will help you prepare for what you can expect. Take note of home prices in your area and what upgrades those homes have to offer.
2. Fix it Up- You’ll want to know what needs to be fixed before buyers begin looking at your home. Having a “pre-inspection” by a home inspector will allow you to fix any necessary repairs so that they don’t come up in the buyers home inspection. This can help speed up the process once you find an interested buyer.
3. Act Like a Buyer- If you were looking at your home as a buyer, what would you see? Are there any updates you’d want to make such as paint, appliances or finishes? Acting like a buyer for your own home will give you insight into what you can do to make your New Buffalo home more attractive to buyers.
4. Make it Move In Ready- Today’s buyers have the option to be picky and many want a home that’s move in ready. Your home will need to have those key factors that are now considered standard in a New Buffalo home such as granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
5. Price it Right- This is a key factor that cannot be stressed enough. Pricing a home correctly from the beginning will help you sell your home more quickly. Your New Buffalo Real Estate agent will work with you to show you what other homes are selling for and to determine a fair market value for your home. If your home is priced too high, it will sit on the market and you’ll eventually have to lower your price. If you decide on a price that is the lowest you’d like to go, be prepared to offer buyers other incentives such as closing costs or a flexible closing date.
Of course, your New Buffalo Real Estate agent will handle the sale of your home and all that’s involved, but these simple tips can speed the process along. If you are ready to begin the home selling process, or would like to simply talk to one of us here at Shoreline Property Advisors; please don’t hesitate to contact us!
We’d love to help you get your New Buffalo home sold!
