As an owner of real property looking to sell their home, there are three key items that you can control to quickly drive a sale:
1. Price: Is your property listed at the right price? Too high and no one will walk through the doors, too low and you might be selling yourself short.
- - Contact local real estate professionals or real estate consultants to help you confidently price your property to sell or rent quickly.
- - Pull comparable listings, active and recently sold. “Comparable” in this case can be determined by bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and location. These will give you a good idea of the price range you can expect for your home.
- - Consider the condition of the market when developing your pricing strategy to sell your home quickly - another great discussion to have with a real estate consultant.
2. Location: You can’t change your property’s location, but you can control your marketing strategy based on your location.
- - Remember - location affects both price & market time.
- - No matter the price range, properties tend to sell more quickly in a locale with a hot market - one where housing inventory is low and demand for properties is high.
- - Are you close to the beach, shopping, work, downtown? Highly desirable areas typically drive higher property sales prices. - Capitalize on the perks of your location when marketing the property to help it sell more quickly.
3. Condition: Is your property in good shape? Presentation can make a huge difference: even not-so-updated homes can be presented well and make a good impression to potential buyers, helping speed up the sale process.
- - First impressions matter. If it’s immediately clear your property has been well taken care of, your chances improve to secure a buyer during their first walk through.
- - A property in poor condition leaves questions in buyers’ minds. Is it really worth what they are asking for? Is there more work that I can’t see?
- - Set yourself up well: freshen up any out of date fixtures, ensure your property is clean, and put your best foot forward. The details matter during property viewings.
The Bottom Line: It may seem simple, but it’s the truth: price, location, and condition are the core foundations to all real estate transactions. Focus on these tips as you get your home ready to sell quickly.
