In some real estate markets, the number of transactions each week is rising sharply. As a seller, how can you make your home stand out among the thousands of properties for sale? Don’t be one of those sellers who spend months on the market, check out these helpful tips to get the best price for your home.

Clean the Yard outside the House

Make the exterior of your house eye-catching. If the look of your home isn’t what you want, many buyers won’t even step through your door. The front of the house is important, the front yard should be manicured and all door and window frames should be repainted if necessary. Baskets and window frames always add a lot of color to a house.

• Although you want to clean the front of the house, don’t neglect the back. In a competitive market, the garden is often the deciding factor in sales. If you’re not a gardener, start becoming one now—at least while you’re selling your house. If you don’t have the time or energy to mow your garden, hire someone to do it. When you sell your home, you’ll find that the money was spent wisely.

Cleaning the inside of the house – clean makes all the difference. Buyers will be nagging, and after all, they have the right to be because they are paying for a home with their hard-earned savings and long-term loans. The last thing they want to see is dirty cupboards and carpets covered in thick dust. Remember that they are imagining themselves living in your house, and make sure it is brand new.

• Take the time to replace the broken window screens, add a coat of paint to the room, or add some colorful flowers. Simple style decoration can add thousands of dollars to your base price.

Often buyers look for white space that reflects their style. If your style is too strong, especially if you use very bright colors, potential buyers will only think that they have to spend more time renovating. Neutralize the room with cream or white to provide more white space.

Clutter can make a room look smaller, making it less attractive and turning off buyers. It can also be difficult for buyers to imagine what their belongings will look like in your house when faced with this mountain of clutter.

• Weaken the personal atmosphere. Things like family photos or personal collections can be taken away, and while they can add color to a drab room, indeed, drab rooms sell faster.

When you’re ready, it’s time to show the house. Showing your home correctly can have a huge impact on how quickly your home sells. Put on some neutral songs as background music, such as soft classical music or jazz. Bake some cookies or light a scented candle to spread the scent throughout the house. Pay special attention to kitchens and bathrooms – these “added values” will have a more significant impact on the price for potential buyers.

Pricing

Don’t bid too high. It seems like everyone overestimates their home. If you want to sell quickly, be realistic. Look at homes in the neighborhood and get advice from reputable real estate professionals. If you want to sell your home quickly, be prepared to lower your expectations.

• The key to closing a deal quickly is positioning. You have to know your competition and then price your home to make it a good value. Some questions you can ask your real estate agent:
• What other homes would potential buyers of my house consider?
• How does my home compare to other homes in terms of price and desirability?
• How can I price my home more attractively than my competitors and make it a better value for money?
• Sometimes, selling for less than expected is a good thing; a low price can start a bidding war that drives home prices higher. Although a bidding war may not actually occur, it is more likely to occur when the price is low than when the price is high.

Compare other sellers on price. Compare similar houses nearby. If you have three bedrooms and two bathrooms, you should pay attention to the three-bedroom and three-bathroom houses nearby and come up with a good way to sell the house quickly.

Be careful about exact numbers. What’s the final price? Figuring out an exact price list requires a little bit of science and strategy. There are two main things to remember when setting your price:

• Use attractive pricing and numbers under a hundred. Don’t list the house price as 407,000 yuan, use 399,000 yuan instead, so it will be just under a hundred. You see, retail stores and various businesses all use this method to set prices. The reason is: that people will prefer this kind of number, because this kind of price does not reach the scale they expected in their minds. 399,000 yuan sounds much more attractive than 400,000 yuan, even though they are almost the same.
• On the other hand, when buyers search for homes on the MLS, they typically set a price range of $1,000,000. For example, some buyers may search for homes priced between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000, while others may search for homes priced between $200,000 and $3,000,000. If you price your house at $2,000,000, buyers in both price ranges will see your house in the search results, but if you only list it at $1,990,000, only buyers in the first group will see it. Therefore, the round price of 1,000,000 yuan may attract more attention in some cases.
• Create an impactful price tag. A price tag can help your house stand out from other homes for sale in the listing. You can find some homes selling in the range of $1,260,000 to $1,270,000, and others priced in the range of $1,290,000 to $1,299,000. Your price tag can be found Between the two parts, that is, 1,270,000 yuan to 1,290,000 yuan, it will be eye-catching.

After setting the price, put it on the market in spring and autumn. For buyers, spring and autumn are the main buying periods. The weather is still warm, the children have just gone on vacation or school has just started, and everyone either hasn’t gone on vacation yet or has already returned from vacation. Pricing your home for the right season will allow you to plan everything better, not in the summer and winter. (In summer, many people are on vacation, and in winter, the weather is terrible.)

If you don’t get picked, give yourself a time limit on when to lower the price. Many times, homeowners are stubborn and keep housing prices high and refuse to drop them any lower. It can take months or even years to sell. Set a time on your calendar before you drop the price if you don’t find a buyer. This way you won’t get too emotional about the price and sell the house quickly.

Get Some Extra Discounts

Look deeply. Pre-sale surveys are uncommon, but are a way to present yourself and let hesitant customers know your home is the best, especially if it’s being reported in a public place. On the other hand, potential problems can also be discovered in advance so they can be better addressed before buyers are scared away.

Harness the power of the web. The Internet has changed the way homes are sold. Instead of having to physically inspect a home, many buyers now eliminate homes they don’t want to buy online and only visit homes they like. Creating a unique, high-quality look for your home online is a great way to attract more buyers.

• If possible, borrow a SLR camera or rent a wide-angle lens for a few days, which will cost about 100-300 yuan. Take some photos of your house on a sunny day, of course cleaning the house first. Room photos taken on a sunny day will make your house look larger and more inviting.

If you decide to go through an agency, choose a good one. Choose wisely! Ask friends, family, and colleagues to see if they can connect you with the best agent. Do your homework, research online, and find the agent who knows your neighborhood best. The intermediary you choose must not only have a lot of market information but also have professional ethics and capabilities.

Can provide some other small things to buyers. Everyone loves getting a small gift package, it makes us feel special and sure the seller is looking after us. The best part is, that it’s relatively easy to do, and here are some tips you can use to excite buyers into buying your home.

• Pay part of the closing costs of the house, or better yet, simply have you pay all of the closing costs, which usually only cost $10,000, which is irrelevant.
• Forward the appliance warranty certificate to the buyer. Think about it, they don’t have to pay for a crappy washing machine or hair dryer, so this may be more important than you think.
• Allow them to move into their new home faster than normal. If you can guarantee that the move-out will be accelerated so that the new homeowner can move in within 30 to 60 days, the deal is done. Homeowners often want to move into their dream house right away.

Don’t be afraid to get the word out about the sale. Even if you have a great real estate agent, it’s okay to tell people you’re selling a home, although it can be a little awkward. Update your Renren website, talk to local parent associations, or ask trusted friends to help spread the word. Small actions like this can have a big impact.
