Spring Home Sales

It’s Time to Get Ready —

In many real estate markets, spring is the season that brings increased home sale activity. The greater availability of homes on the market gives buyers the luxury of being more selective. In addition, the ease of searching for a home online allows buyers to be very knowledgeable in their home purchasing decisions.

Online marketing will be one of your most important home selling tools. It is important that your marketing materials include professional photos and a detailed, well-written home description that features the highlights of your home. Ensure that your marketing materials are easy for buyers to navigate online and are compatible with a variety of devices, from smartphones to tablets. Give your listing a competitive edge by following the below tips:

Tips for Selling a Home in the Spring

1. Interview real estate agents — while it is still cold outside, start the process of meeting with at least two qualified agents to review their marketing materials

2. Declutter and depersonalize — fewer belongings will make your home look larger and help prospective buyers to envision their own belongings in the space

3. Spruce up the interior — now is the time to repair loose doorknobs and leaky faucets, neutralize paint colors, and complete other small projects to improve the overall appeal of your home

4. Avoid remodeling until you select a real estate agent to guide you in any big decisions
