How to Prepare Your Home for the Spring Market
While the COVID-19 pandemic turned much of our lives upside down in 2020, it paved the way for a promising seller’s market this spring. A large number of hopeful buyers were not able to find the home they were looking for last year, thanks to surging demand, making now a better time than ever to prepare your home for market.
Renovate what is outdated.
If your kitchen or bathroom is reminiscent of another decade, they should be updated before you sell. But you don’t have to spend a fortune on big renovations to increase your home’s value. Updating fixtures like faucets, towel racks and cabinet pulls can make a big difference in how buyers see your home.
Paint with whites and neutrals.
A new coat of paint is a relatively inexpensive and easy way to give an instant facelift to your home. Increase the natural light flooding through your windows, so the whites and neutrals will help to open the space and entice potential buyers.
Reconnect with your real estate professional.
Working with a real estate agent you trust makes all the difference between a stressful selling experience and an easy one. As your agent, it’s my job to alert you to potential risks, help you find resources, and negotiate offers. Often a seemingly simple transaction can grow legally complex and risky. I can help you locate trusted legal counsel, home inspection services, surveyors, and lenders.
Ask me how I can put my expertise to work for you this spring.
