Whenever you are selling your home, you've to do many things to secure its fix for a smooth and easy sale. You'll be able to rent an realtor, interior stager or complete sales teams to sell your home - or you can do it yourself.
Houses are considered to be easiest to sell when they are clean, tidy, free of clutter, and the walls are neutrally toned - some sites and experts suggest painting your walls white, others suggest that you should paint them with pale, neutral, matching colors. If this isn't possible, it is important to make sure your walls are clean - removing clutter and cleaning woodwork and painted walls, can give your room a much needed lift.
If you're de-cluttering, you can also begin packing whilst doing so, but considering some houses sell up to three months before you're planning on moving OR up to a year after you've moved, its also important not to plan to sell straight away, unless your house is in a highly sought after area, and you've got a good, competitive price. If not, you might be in for quite a wait on selling your house - and you also have to find a new place to move to yourself.
Estate agents, and Realtors do a great job of selling houses, but in an ever increasingly competitive market, you have to do very unique things to sell your house - it has been reported that some people are offering new cars, or paying the tax on your house for the first year of your stay in the new house. The housing market is always expanding, but you can't sell just anything - dilapidated houses can't simply be considered 'fixer uppers' and all houses for sale have to meet ever increasing stringent codes - or have new owners that will fix these to meet those codes.
It’s quite ironic to think that we’ll have to spend a couple more hundreds of dollars to fix and repair the house that we’re just gonna sell anyway. But this is the norm – most sellers do the fixing themselves, especially when the home inspector’s report comes in. There are also other ways to add value to the house we’ve put on the market. Sellers just have to be creative about it.
