Apart from the season for floral, hay fever & starting afresh, Spring is always a good time to be looking at selling your home because people are awakening out of their hibernation & exploring new places & things. There is a more optimistic mood or atmosphere abounding. However, ‘Timing is Everything’ as they say. Here’s a few tips when thinking about selling your home:-
Do you live near the beach or coast. Your street might be packed with cars during ‘Spring Summer’?
Is your suburb attractive to tourists?
How does your front lawn look ’Spring/Summer’ versus ‘Winter’?
Selling in an ‘off season’ might mean less competition for buyers?
Thoroughly research the market that you are selling your home in before you bring in the professional (including nearby sales)
Attend auctions as if you were a ‘buyer’
Have you got the right selling agent on board ? Do they fit with your values & expectations? Check their credentials!
Don’t get too emotionally invested or subjective when selling. You’ve already made the decision to sell!
Depersonalise your home , removing clutter, family photos, neutralise colours, paint , fix niggling issues (leaking taps etc). Think like a buyer! A professional home stylist might be worth engaging?
And don’t forget if you have a mortgage on your existing home, can you transport that mortgage to your new place of residence?
Happy home selling!
