Sell Your House Fast
There is nothing worse than putting house up for sale and
watching it sit on the market. Here are a few tips to sell your
house fast.
Sell Your House Fast
The following tips will help you sell your house fast, but we
need to cover something first. If you have some type of defect
with your house, it is going to have to be repaired. There is a
difference between making small mistakes that prevent a sale
versus having a major problem like a sliding foundation. These
tips will only help if your home is in reasonably good shape
when compared to those houses selling in your neighborhood.
The number one thing involved in selling your house fast is the
price. The price of your home should not be what you personally
think it is worth. Buyers simply don't care about such things.
To sell your house fast, you have to find a price that is
attractive to buyers. The best way to do this is to look for
comparable houses in your neighborhood that sold fast. Find out
how much they sold for and compare your price to the prices the
other houses went for. If you are above those prices, you need
to take a deep breath and lower your price. When it comes to
pricing your house for a fast sale, do not try to recreate the
wheel. Just follow the lead set by neighbors in your area.
The second thing you can do is deal with clutter. I can't tell
you how many times I've taken a buyer to a home only to be
shocked by the amount of junk stuffed in garage, basement and
rooms of the home. Whether you like it or not, you are selling a
product. Clear out the clutter and make it look as nice as
possible. Buyers will be much more interested in buying a sharp
looking property.
Another tip is to let go of your emotional attachments in the
home. A friend of mine recently sold a home and nearly had the
sale fall through over four high quality bar stools. They were
hand made and one of a kind. The buyer wanted them thrown into
the sale and my friend refused. The deal eventually went through
without the bar stools included. When my friend moved into his
new home, he realized there was no room for the bar stools and
ended up putting them on consignment! Don't fall into this trap!
To sell your house fast, the number one issue is always price.
Nail down the proper price and you should be able to move the
property as quickly as your neighbors did.
