Will others think your home is CHARMING?
For a variety of reasons, most homeowners, at one time or another, determine that it is time to sell their home. This may be related to your change in financial status, need to relocate, family changes, aging, personal housing requirements/needs, etc. However, whatever the reason, it is important to realize and recognize that listed homes are in competition with others and often it is the CHARM of a particular house, which makes it more attractive, than the competition. With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly consider, explore, review and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means and represents, and some realistic strategies etc.
1. Characteristic: This concept and approach begins with a clear examination and consideration of the major and minor features of your home. Is the home inviting and free of clutter, distractions, or anything else that might discourage, rather than attract, qualified potential buyers? Begin the process by driving up to your home, as a buyer would, and consider the true curb appeal objectively. What is positive and what is less? Examine the grounds outside, including the lawn, flower beds, toilet, and whether it looks loved and well cared for! Is the style of your house the most desirable? In most regions, Colonial-style homes command the highest prices, while Cape Cod-style homes command the lowest bids. Then examine the first impression a potential buyer might have, based on the look, scents, clutter, rooms, etc. Try to create a focus on the strongest assets in your particular home!
two. Heating system; heart: Prospective buyers are generally looking for an efficient, modern and quiet heating system, as well as what is known as heating/ventilation/air conditioning, or air conditioning. Will others feel a warmth and care towards the home, based on your heart, character and service? How energy efficient, and what other factors, could make the difference buyers are looking for?
3. areas; attention: Before you put your house on the market, do a thorough review of all areas, in and around the house! Pay close attention and address the inherent weaknesses and those that could affect the potential sale price!
Four. Region; realistic: Get to know your neighborhood and surrounding areas. Understand your strengths and weaknesses, and understand how that might affect what others might be willing to pay. These regional considerations include: security; convenience; schools; transportation; neighbours; etc.
5. Median; brand: How will you price your home? Objectively consider how yours compares to the competition, and do so realistically! If you hope your property will make its mark and attract the best possible qualified buyers, you need to know the median price, the existing market, etc., and the price of the house, correctly, from the start!
Why do you think your house has the CHARM, to be considered favorably, in front of others? Will you be able to do it, objectively?
