3 Expert Tips on Boosting Your Home Sale Potential

By John West

We understand that our clients are making big life decisions and are trusting us to help them make sure those decisions are wise ones. For us, it is not about transactions, it's about relationships.

Deciding to sell your house is a big move. Aside from feeling excited about this big leap in your life, it’s natural to feel stressed and sentimental about your current home. A great way to strike a balance between the highs and lows of your emotions and confidently push through with your decision is to keep these three best practices in mind when you’re ready to sell:

1. Price your home right. Being informed about the real estate market is essential for appropriately pricing your home. When you price your house too high, you risk alienating potential buyers, and pricing it too low means leaving money on the table. Buyers nowadays prioritize affordability, and they’ve become more selective. If you get the pricing right and have a well-maintained home to show for it, there will be more demand and a faster sale. 

2. Be mindful of your feelings. It’s reasonable to develop an emotional attachment to a home after living there for a long period of time. According to the National Association of Realtors, the average period a homeowner has owned a property has climbed from six to ten years since 1985. That’s a lot of memories tied to a specific location. The ideal option is to seek the assistance of a real estate professional during the bargaining process. They can also develop the most effective pricing strategy along the route.

3. Stage your home. We all have different tastes, and what looks good to you might not resonate with the buyer’s vibe. That is why it is important to focus on keeping your home appealing to as many buyers as possible. This is because they need to picture themselves living in the home. 

Overall, setting the proper price, managing your emotional attachment, and staging your home are three of the most effective and easiest ways to attract buyers to your home.
