Today I just want to discuss with you some tips on how you can get more money for your home sale in a shorter period of time. That's the goal of all home sellers, right? The process is fairly simple. What you need to do is de-clutter, get personal items out, and get ready for a professional photographer.
Professional photography is of the utmost importance when selling your home. It makes the house look brand-new, big, wide, clean, and bright. Photography highlights the best parts of your home, and really impresses buyers for the first showing. It used to be that the first showing was always at the open house, but that's not the case today. The first showing now takes place online, and if you don't have professional photography, your home won't stand out at all to prospective buyers.
So, when you are getting ready to put your home on the market, simple things like taking pictures off the fridge, packing up personal items, and hiring a professional photographer are all great ideas. If you want to talk about getting your home sold faster and for more money, or if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call or send us a quick email. We look forward to hearing from you!
Today we just wanted to give you a quick market update on what's been going on in real estate in Northern Idaho. The market has been very active and busy, and so have we. We have been seeing lots of pending sales and closed sales in the past few months. Compared to this time last year, we are way ahead of where we were.
If you've been thinking about selling your home, pay special attention to housing price numbers. Depending on your neighborhood, prices may have increased 11-17%.
If you're buying as well, it's a great time to purchase due to low interest rates. They are expected to rise soon, and won't be near as affordable in the future. Locking in a rate now could save you a ton of money down the road.
If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call. We'd love to help you out!
Lately, many homeowners have asked us how they can get more money for their home in a shorter time frame. Today, we have one simple tip that will certainly help you move in that direction.
The most important thing you can do is declutter your home! It sounds simple, but many homeowners fail to do it adequately. Get rid of the items you're going to move to your new home and that aren't necessary to make the home look nice. You also need to throw away things you're not going to keep or that might make the home look crowded.
Having clear surfaces makes your home look much more spacious, and a decluttered home will make it easier for a professional photographer to make your home look big, clean, and bright. In today's market the first showing is online, so it is crucial you make your home as photogenic as possible. Part of the decluttering process also involves depersonalizing - take down family photos and refrigerator magnets, so people can picture themselves living in your home.
