From proper phrasing to curb appeal, each detail you put into your listing impacts how quickly your house will sell. The buyer market is currently transitioning to appeal to the millennial generation, who will be ready to purchase homes in 2018. These tips will provide you with the knowledge you need to sell your home as quickly as possible!
De-clutter and clean your home This step will make your home appear larger and more appealing to buyers. A home full of junk indicates to buyers that there will not be enough storage space for their items, so organizing and cleaning up will make a huge difference in perception.
Lighten up your space By utilizing an open concept, adding mirrors, extra lighting, and light paint colors you can create the illusion that your home is larger than it is. Using framed art to decorate, rather than canvas, also helps to bounce light throughout your home.
Having a backyard deck According to a survey conducted by Trulia, 59% of millennials included a backyard deck as a must-have feature for their dream home. Creating a cozy and cohesive backyard space can fulfill this need, as long as it is visually appealing.
Focus on ROI rooms: Kitchen and bathroom If you’re going to remodel any portion of your home before putting it up for sale, focus on updating the kitchen and bathrooms. These two rooms are major selling points for most home buyers and will have the largest return on investment.
Be word conscious in your listing According to a study discussed on MSN, these phrases can impact the sale speed of your house:
-“Beautiful” or “gorgeous”: sold 15% faster -“Landscaping”: sold 20% faster -“Move-in condition”: sold 12% faster -“Motivated” or “must sell”- sold 30% slower
Enhance your curb appeal To create a great first impression, start by cleaning up and landscaping the outside of your home! Millennials are interested in being healthy and giving back to the environment, so starting a vegetable garden will attract 40% more home buyers.
Remembering to fine tune the details of your home and to consider the target market will make your home selling more efficient overall!
