Planning to sell your home? Keep these 3 things in mind.

Let’s be frank: the process of selling your home can, at times, feel a little overwhelming. From comparing prices in your area to know how best to price your home; to coordinating showings, staging rooms, or deciding if you need a realtor—the checklist of what you should be doing and what you need to avoid can come off long and tedious.

But whether you’re downsizing, looking to purchase a new property, or just need to get cash on hand, there are certain aspects of the home sale process that are consistent across the board. Here are three:

1. Location determines competition

When pricing how much to sell your home for, it pays to be informed. There are a number of websites that can help you calculate the best cost for your property so that you know how to price within a range.

Consider as well the kind of neighborhood that your property is located in. Proximity to good schools and local establishments up your chances of selling your property faster and around your preferred price.

2. Seasonality can factor in—but it’s not necessarily a dealbreaker

Last month, we addressed how the winter season doesn’t necessarily make it harder for you to sell your home. Instead, it’s best to understand the motivations behind possible buyers and why they may be looking for homes during specific seasons.

Nevertheless, with spring and summer on the way, one thing to keep in mind is that families typically consider looking for a home before the start of the incoming school year.

3. Home condition affects perception

You’ve likely read that homes in great shape typically sell faster than those in need of repairs. This boils down to how buyers often need to picture themselves living in the home before they can commit to a purchase. Most home buyers will want to steer clear of homes that will require plenty of rework – this can mean added pressure on you as the seller to ensure that appliances and fixtures are in good condition.

If renovations are an added expense that you would rather not get into, we’ve got an alternative that might work for you. At Imagine Homes, we try to simplify the home sale process for our clients, so that they can direct their energies and focus on the next chapter of their lives.
