If you are concerned about getting a reasonable offer price for your home when selling in today's more challenging market, there are several things you can do to position your home in the best light to make it the last home buyers see and want to put in an offer on.
Staging your home is an easy, cost effective way to get top dollar when an offer comes in on your home. Statistics have shown homes that are staged bring in up to 5 percent more than if the home is vacant. Sellers should also declutter, touch up the interior with a fresh coat of paint if needed and enhance street appeal through landscaping and outside maintenance.
Less is more when it comes to staging. Also, it is good to have at least one item of bright color to lighten up a room such as fresh flowers, painting, or a colorful vase. Take everything off the kitchen counter except the coffeemaker. Also, take down personal pictures. Often, I have clients I take to homes and they do not remember the house, but what pictures were in the home of the people that lived there. Take extra seasonal clothing out of closets so they seem more spacious. Have window treatments cleaned and leave open to make rooms seem as light and bright as possible.
Another good idea before listing your home to sell is having a cleaning professional come and also a yard service clean up the lawn if you are too busy to do this yourself.
