If you're thinking about putting your house on the market, it's crucial to make sure you're getting the highest return on your investment. Follow these seven straightforward steps to impress potential buyers and maximize your home’s selling price:
-
Enhance Curb Appeal: First impressions are everything. Enhance your home's exterior to make a strong initial impact. Simple changes like adding fresh mulch, clearing the walkway, and bright seasonal flowers can significantly improve how your property is perceived.
Samantha's Tip: Boost your home’s charm instantly by placing an eye-catching, seasonal flower arrangement on your porch, in your front garden, or on your front step. You can also add a season wreath to the front door.
-
Declutter: Create a more spacious feel by clearing out personal items and excess furniture. The less clutter, the more potential buyers can envision themselves in the space, often resulting in a higher selling price.
Samantha's Tip: While you're in the process of selling your home, keep a basket or bin for each person in the house to tidy up their daily items to keep your home looking show ready and to make it easier to do a quick tidy right before showings. -
Watch Your Smells: Scents can make or break a buyer’s interest. Opt for natural fragrances like freshly baked bread or brewed coffee, which are more appealing than artificial scents and can make your home feel inviting and cozy.
Samantha's Tip: Avoid plug-ins or aerosols; a natural, clean smell suggests a well-maintained home without hidden issues. A simmer pot is a great way to make your house smell wonderful!
-
Define Spaces: Make sure each room has a clear purpose. A well-staged home makes it easier for buyers to imagine their life in it, from a peaceful home office to an energizing workout space.
Samantha's Tip: A coffee maker and some cute mugs on a hutch or empty counter, creates an adorable coffee bar. -
Step Out During Showings: Buyers need the freedom to explore and discuss your home candidly. Your absence helps them feel more comfortable, encouraging honest feedback and genuine interest.
-
Repair & Clean: Address any minor repairs and deep clean your home to showcase it in its best light. Pay attention to often-overlooked areas like ceiling fans and air vents.
-
Create An Oasis: Highlight an outdoor area where potential buyers can see themselves relaxing. Whether it’s a cozy corner for reading or a vibrant garden, a well-defined outdoor space can be a big selling point.
