Sell Your Sanctuary this Summer with These 3 Strategies
Summer is the perfect season to sell your home. The warm weather and longer days encourage buyers to get out and explore the market. Not to mention, as a seller, real estate is entering a new era where sellers have the option not to compensate the buyers agent. To make your home stand out and sell quickly, try these three effective strategies:
1. Boost Curb Appeal: Pressure Wash and Clean Your Stucco
First impressions matter, and nothing says "welcome" like a clean, well-maintained exterior. A pressure wash can do wonders for your home's curb appeal. Focus on:
Driveways and Walkways: Remove dirt and grime to make paths look new.
Stucco and Siding: Clean off mildew and stains to refresh your home's facade.
Decks and Patios: Make outdoor spaces inviting by removing buildup and stains.
By making your home look its best, you'll attract more potential buyers from the moment they see it.
2. Offer Concessions: Sweeten the Deal for Buyers
Offering concessions can set your property apart. Consider incentives, especially this summer, with rates potentially remaining high:
Rate Buy Down: Help buyers afford a lower mortgage rate, making your home, and your deal, more attractive. Yes, there are plenty of cash buyers out there. But will they lowball you, or be the right buyers for your home? Giving buyers a rate buy down option allow you to increase the pool of potential buyers for your home.
3. Strategic Pricing: Price Matters
Pricing your home strategically is crucial.
Attract More Buyers: An accurate price point can draw in a larger pool of potential buyers. You don’t need to play games. Price your home correctly and avoid mistaking a clear view for a short distance with aspirational pricing.
Create Urgency: Buyers may feel a sense of urgency to make an offer before someone else does when the price is right.
Think of it as fishing: without the right bait, you won’t catch any fish. The right price can be the bait that reels in the right buyers for your home.
Conclusion
Selling your home this summer can be a smooth and successful process with the right strategies. By enhancing your home's curb appeal, offering attractive rate concessions, and pricing reasonably, you'll be well on your way to selling your sanctuary quickly and at a great price!
