How to Get the Best Price for Your Candlewood Lake Home For Sale

If you want homebuyers to pay the asking price of your Candlewood Lake and Lake Lillinonah properties you need to have a well-defined strategy. As a seller, you need to get the attention of enough buyers to spur competition. Listed below are some tips that will help get buyers offer what you ask.

1. Be realistic about the price

Be realistic about the worth of your Candlewood Lake real estate. You may ask estate agents to value your property. Compare the asking price of similar homes in your local paper’s property section. Determine which direction the market is moving. You may consider asking a slightly higher price if the market is moving up. Otherwise, you may have to lower your price.

2. Hire a home inspector

Enlist a home inspector to help you identify possible problems with your home. Once they have been determined, hire a handyman to fix them. You will be in a stronger position to ask for full price if you can present buyers with repair receipts and inspection reports. Many homes in our area have septic systems. It is a good idea to determine ahead of time if there are any repairs needed.

3. Prepare your home

Make sure your Candlewood Lake home is at its prime condition for any viewings. Your home should also be presented in accordance to how it has been described. Do some basic house cleaning and make minor repairs such as fixing leaky faucets or replacing light bulbs.

4. 

It is extremely important to make a good first impression. Showcase your home by boosting your curb appeal. Since the outside of the house is the first thing that buyers see, a well-kept garden and a tidy drive can make a huge impact.

5. Choose the right agent

Although selling a property by yourself is a cheaper option, getting the service of a real estate agent has some benefits to it. If you make the decision to use an agent, stick to member of the National Association of Estate Agents. Enlist the service of a professional who has experience and is well informed with your local market.
