Tips for Home Seller’s this Spring
Following last year’s trend, the 2022 housing market is showing favoritism again to sellers over buyers. According to the National Association of Realtors, the housing market is short by as much as 6.5 million homes, leaving buyers with very few listing options to select from. With the Federal Reserve making its first round of interest rate increases in March, we can expect to see some slowdown in the market later this year.
For those individuals currently going through the selling process or interested in selling this spring or summer, we encourage you to follow these tips to best assist you.
- Price your home accordingly.
The last several years have proven that buyers will pay almost anything to get the home they want. It’s important, however, to price your home competitively without exceeding the house value. Make sure to pay attention to the numbers your agent brings to the table. The overall goal is to gain significant interest and showings to find the right buyer. - Make your house stand out!
- It’s important to gain buyer attraction for all the right reasons. To ensure your home looks as clean and presentable as possible, you’ll want to remove personal pieces such as pictures, repaint walls a neutral color, buff the floors or deep clean the carpet and clean the windows.
- As we enter spring, a nice touch would be to plant flowers in your landscaping or place flower arrangements from a local greenhouse in your home. Little touches such as this will charm a buyer!
- Stick to a minimum acceptable offer.
- The best thing to do in advance is to decide on a minimum price you’re willing to accept. In today’s market, where bidding wars are ever so rampant, the goal remains the same: to have a smooth process for both the seller and the buyer. To prevent painful rounds of price reductions and negotiations, it’s key to list at a price not too high.
