You are now a seller, either trying to sell our own house or using a Durham Region real estate agent to help you out. There are a number of factors to ensure your home will sell/sell faster. The ones that seem to have the most affect on the selling are timing and pricing. Below are a few tips and reasons why this is true;
Timing, timing, timing…
Recent research has shown that sellers can receive the highest return on their house sale by picking the most opportune time to list and sell their property. For most of North America this happens to be May (this can be anywhere from $1,000-$20,000 extra). The reason for this specific month or time of year is due to the weather change happening around that time. Most buyers aren’t going to look for houses when it’s cold outside. This most likely will mean they will have to move in the cold… who wants to move heavy items in the cold? During the colder months people usually tend to stay inside unless they must go outside for some specific reason or, the weather goes above a certain temperature. This in turn will give you less buyers coming to look at your lovely new listing.
Pricing
There are at least 3 reasons a homeowner prices a property too high. The first reason can be unless the homeowner has a proper knowledge of what increases and decreases the value of a home, the home can get unnecessarily overpriced. The second reason can be a seller can misuse or misinterpret the market data. It’s great to use selling averages in your neighbourhood however; this should also include SOLD homes as well as similar size, age, features and number of stories (if applicable). Lastly there is also the myth of placing a home on the market for a higher price leaves room for negotiation. What can happen is the opposite effect; the price is essentially too high for the buyer and it gets pushed to the side for a more affordable option. Price the home well and the buyer will see the worth and pay the price set out.
Curb appeal.
Let’s not overlook curb appeal and first impressions. Make sure the outside is painted well, the driveway is sealed, and cracks repaired. Prior to listing, have your lawn fertilized, and trimmed well.
