If you’re selling your home here in the Capital District, there are nine factors you need to keep in mind in order to ensure that it sells quickly and for top dollar:
1. Curb appeal. This is like a first impression you make when you meet someone. Stand in front of the driveway of your home and take a long look at it. You’d be surprised at what you might notice that needs to be fixed.
2. Local school ratings. People will pay top dollar to make sure that their kids are in the top schools. How does your local school stack up?
3. Is the home in move-in ready condition? Buyers want to be able to move into a home without needing to fix it up.
4. The quality of the home’s photos. These days, 96% of all buyers start their search online. This means that if you don’t have high-quality photos, you’re turning off the majority of your buyer pool before they ever step foot into your home.
5. Staging. Staging a home tends to sell a home quicker because it allows people to visualize themselves in it better. What you’d pay to have your home professionally staged is absolutely worth the price tag.
6. Virtual tours. This allows online buyers to get an all-access walkthrough of your home. A presentation like that is a tempting lure to get them to see the home in person.
7. Design features. If you’re going to invest money into your home, you want to make sure the kitchen and the bathrooms are taken care of and any granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and cabinets are accentuated.
8. Pricing. One of the worst things you can do when selling a house in a fast-moving market like ours is overpricing or underpricing it.
