Happy Halloween! It is that time of year filled with witches, ghosts, pumpkins, and … haunted houses. Those haunted houses are fun to explore but make sure your home doesn’t look like one of them! Potential buyers in the marketplace expect you to put the best foot forward in preparing your home to sell. The market is still competitive and it is important to make your home as marketable as possible.
During this spooky season, think about some of these and getting them repaired:
- Is your paint chipped or need some touch ups?
- Are your windows tightly sealed and in good working order?
- Does your yard look its absolute best? (First impressions!)
- Are your chimneys serviced properly? (This can be a big issue with home inspections!)
- Think about smells – it is important to appeal to all senses when preparing your home for potential buyers.
Once you finish getting everything checked out and repaired, you may be ready to get your home on the market to sell. Consider, however, the possible benefits to staging your home to make it show at its best. This can help command you a higher sales price and also sell the home quicker.
