If you’re planning to list this spring, there are a few measures you can take to prepare your home for the busiest real estate season of the year. Check out the following tips!
- Amp up curb appeal. The winter probably took a toll on your front yard. Add some mulch, trim the bushes, and replenish the lawn. First impressions are crucial when selling!
- Resolve repairs. Take care of any problems before you list. This is an opportune time to maximize value.
- Touch up on dated features. For instance, people will pay up to 5% more on average for dark hardwood floors.
- Paint the property. Don’t get cheap with paint, either. A fresh coat of paint can make a home appear to be new, when it’s actually old.
- Be serious about the market. Get creative with how you advertise the home. Use social media, emails, videos, etc. in order to get the widest exposure possible.
