Ways for Sellers to Take Advantage of Spring Market Power

3 Ways to Take Advantage of Spring Market Power

Winning the spring market requires preparation. You can be leaving money on the table if you do not put your home in the best possible light.

Getting these three items handled now ensures your home stands out against the competition:

1. Master Your Curb Appeal

The exterior is your first showing. Buyers often make a decision before they even step inside! If they don't feel a connection to the outside of your home, it could keep them from really appreciating and loving the interior.

• Action: Power wash your front walk and siding, apply a fresh coat of paint to your front door (neutral or bold!), and make sure on snowy days your driveway and walkways are shoveled and clear of stone.

2. Repair Known Issues

Don't wait for a buyer’s inspection to uncover a surprise issue. If you have known issues and things that have always bother you, take the time to fix them before showings.

• Action: Get quotes on things you know may need to be addressed and fix issues that are maintenance items that will increase your home value. Remember to touch up paint because every house will have wear and tear.

3. Clear the Clutter & Stage Lightly

Buyers are purchasing a future, not your past. Spring is the perfect time to start packing.

• Action: Declutter closets, remove personal photos, and organize the garage. This makes rooms look larger and allows buyers to easily envision their own life in the space. You want the buyers to not be distracted with clutter when looking at your home.
