3 Must Do’s When Selling Your House This Year

Putting your house on the market is a hard step to make. The emotions that come with it can help or hinder a sale depending on how we manage them. So here are 3 must do’s to help you avoid costly mistakes when it’s time to move!

Price Your Home Right

When inventory is low, like it is in the current market, it’s common to think buyers will pay whatever we ask when setting a listing price. Believe it or not, that’s not always true. A real estate professional will help you set the true value of your home.

Keep Your Emotions in Check

Today, homeowners are living in their houses for a longer period of time. Since 1985, the average tenure, or time a homeowner has owned their home, has increased from 5 to 10 years. When you stay in one place for so long, you may get even more emotionally attached to your space. For some homeowners, that makes it even harder to negotiate and separate the emotional value of the house from fair market price. That’s why you need a real estate professional to help you with the negotiations along the way.

Stage Your Home Properly

Buyers want to envision themselves in the space so it truly feels like it could be their own. They need to see themselves inside with their furniture and keepsakes – not your pictures and decorations. A real estate professional can help you with tips to get your home ready to stage and sell. Today’s sellers’ market might be your best chance to make a move. If you’re considering selling your house, DM me to help you navigate through the process while prioritizing these must-do’s.
