How To Attract 95 Percent Buyers To Buy Your House
By: Peter Shukla
Higher interest rates always lead the housing market to become buyers market. This is because buyers pull out of the market leaving a relative oversupply of houses to sell. After the recent rise in rates, it is more difficult to sell the house than when rates were lower.
Following steps will make sure that you get more buyers interested in your property than others in your area. You can even sell and rent back, if you have a buyer but no where to go yet.
1. Start to see the house not as a home but a product to be marketed to general public. This may not be easy in the beginning; especially of you have lived in this house for many years and have fond memories. So this will take some time. But this is an important step to realize best potential out of your home selling process.
2. Get your house inspected by a professional surveyor. This only needs to be of preliminary nature and not thorough. You just want to ensure that there aren’t any unpleasant surprises for the later part of selling process, and prepare if there are any. This step is important because buyers will have an upper hand in negotiation if such things are discovered by their own survey of the house, they may even pull out of the deal completely. Surveyor’s signed document will demonstrate the care you have taken of your house, instilling confidence among the estate agents or Realtor as well as the buyer.
3. Prepare your house. Stand back and look at your house as objectively as possible. Would you buy this home? It is often difficult for people not to be partial at this stage. So get your friends or neighbors around for their views. You may also get opinion from your estate agent or other professional. View similar properties in your area and make notes of their strong points. After all they are going to be your competitors. Any enhancements do not need to be expensive.
4. You will need to make some effort to ensure that your house stands out over similar other properties in your area. To start with, it will need to be cleaner, fresher and give the appearance of being well maintained. Walls should have neutral colored paint or wallpapers, carpets and upholstery deep cleaned and garden tidy. Since you are preparing this house for others to live in, make sure that the house is appealing to the vast majority of population. Go with neutral decor over your own personal tastes.
5. Not every one is a DIY enthusiast. Make sure that all incomplete projects are complete and loose ends are tidies up. A vast majority of people prefer moving into a house that will require no or little maintenance for the next 2 or 3 years. So sort out those wires hanging from the ceilings and clear up the garage.
6. Consider depersonalization of your house. You should have only a few displayed family pictures because if wherever you look you see your family’s memorabilia then buyers find it hard to visualize themselves living there. People display all sorts of things like trophies, granny’s needlework or baseball bats etc – they should all be in moderation.
Above steps will help you to make your house a lot ore marketable than others. Good luck.
