Steps to take to make your home easier to sell
Today’s market remains seller-friendly, with inventory down and prices up. But sellers should expect to work harder and make more improvements than earlier in the decade, experts say. If you’re ready to put your home on the market, there are some important steps you can take to help your home sell.
Clean it up and make at least light improvements. When it comes to improvements, a little can go a long way — assuming that your house is in reasonable condition to start. If you’re getting your home ready to sell, clutter is your enemy. Experts say it’s worth the effort to clear things out, even if temporary storage space is needed. Sellers should also de-personalize. It’s tougher for potential buyers to visualize themselves in your home if there are signs of the current residents everywhere. Consider removing things that are uniquely “you,” such as family photos. Experts also caution against leaving items that are potentially controversial.
