3 Little Things Sellers Can Do To Make A Big Impression On Buyers
When buyers are out looking at homes it is easy for them to start to forget some if they don’t make a great first impression on them. They often get overwhelm and might only remember a negative detail if it wasn’t a great home. As a seller listing your home you want to be sure your home is memorable to the buyers and sticks out in a good way. Here are 3 Tips sellers can do to make a big impression on potential buyers.
- Utilities Costs - Every buyer not only is looking at the sales price of the home but they are also thinking of their monthly expenses, one of them being utilities bills. As a seller if you list this for them they have a clear understanding of what they can expect to pay, don’t leave them guessing wrong and cause them to walk away. Be proactive and provide the information so they can be educated and feel empowered.
- Owner’s Manuals - Providing owners manuals is another key buyers really appreciate. Providing the manuals not only shows you kept up with your homes records but it helps them out with future issues should they need to reference them.
- Make An Effort (TLC) - Make an effort outside to give your home great curb appeal. Too much attention is put inside the home, when in reality the first impression starts with curb appeal. What sets a boring home from one that will impress buyers is definitely some TLC, this shows you cared and took care of the home.
Don’t allow your home to get lost in the shuffle of all the homes buyers view, instead be sure to stand out. These are just a few tips I would give sellers but certainly there are more. At the end of the day it is on you to set the stage for your home and the impression buyers will get. Be sure to follow these 3 tips so you can be sure to make a big impression on buyers when you list your home.

Why Homes Don't Sell In A Hot Market

Why Homes Don't Sell In A Hot Market
If you haven’t heard it is a very hot market, but why are you still seeing homes not sell? Is it the house that has too many issues? Location? Condition in bad shape? Pricing? It is a combination of all those but lets take a closer look.
Now more than ever I am seeing homes continue to be over priced and that is a result of a seller expecting a high demand for their home. The seller will often build in the premium and expect to get it. The reality is it doesn’t alway work that way, the market may not agree and stay away. Over pricing tends to happen all the time but this can be risky and often leads to sitting on the market much longer than normal.
Another common reason I am seeing is the condition of the property, homes that sell fast right now are in move in or turn key condition. Properties that are in bad shape and their price does not reflect it tend to sit longer. In other words if the home is in bad shape but the seller is still asking full price like homes that are in perfect move in condition, that home will tend to sit on the market longer.
Other factors I see is location and needed repairs. Location is always important and even a gorgeous home located in a bad location will sit on the market even when it is hot. Excessive repairs tends to cause an issue as well for not selling quickly. Remember not every buyer is willing to do some repairs. Keep in mind some banks have their limits on property condition and if those limits are exceeded they won’t finance it at all which really alienates many buyers. Once you get rid of buyers with financing you are left with cash buyers and those buyers want a discount.
Remember price the property correctly given the condition and location. Don’t add a premium as that will scare buyers away who are in tune with the market. Also look at properties that have been on the market as an opportunity to possibly go in with a realistic offer and win the home. This is really where having a real estate agent like me help your properly price the home so this doesn’t happen to your home when you list it.
