Let’s review a few of the most important ways to get your home ready to sell.
If you have any questions about the Boulder County Real Estate Market, reach out to me via the contact link here. At 8z Real Estate, we follow the market data and trends, and have the knowledge and local market strategies to best assist you in your real estate goals.
1. Fresh Paint
A neutral paint palette can make your home more appealing to buyers, as well as increase your property value.
A nice paint job shows buyers that you care about your home & that it will serve them well over the years. This can help achieve a greater ROI when you sell it.
2. Landscaping
Think curb appeal ...
Adding landscaping elements to your front or backyard can also enhance the look of a property. This will not only make selling your home easier, but it will also add value for refinancing if you choose to go that route. The return on investment is usually not just in equity down the road, but also the benefits of more shade and/or privacy!
3. Repairs
A home that needs repairs will surely deliver a lower price in any market. While Colorado’s market is typically fairly ‘hot’, some buyers will not even look at a home that needs major or obvious repairs. Home repairs can be very expensive, so if there’s a lot of repairs needed, try to focus on the major ones that will make your home ‘sellable’.
4. Staging
As mentioned earlier, staged homes
sell 83% faster than unstaged. While this can be a tricky process to coordinate as far as storage, pets, etc., it is a great bet to accelerate the sale of your home.
5. Professional Photography, 3D Tours, and Video Walkthroughs
Now more than ever, it’s important to have attractive, professional multimedia for real estate listings. As people are operating more remotely, they are doing even more of their home searching online. So if your home is listed without numerous pictures and/or a video walkthrough, you may be literally selling it short. Additionally, having an interactive 3D Tour available on the listing is an amazing way to let people ‘tour’ the home without ever stepping foot inside. At 8z, we’ve actually had homes sell over a weekend, and even the day it was listed, purely because our agents utilize these virtual tools to showcase listings for buyers and sellers.
There’s no question that selling your home can be a challenge. However, if you take the time and the right steps to prepping your home for listing, it will seem like much less of a challenge and more fun.
