Getting Your House Ready for Sale

How to sell your house quickly for top dollar instead of getting stuck.

Many of us have heard about home prices dropping, houses sitting longer on the market, and inventory increasing. All of this is a result of the housing market correcting. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is harder to sell now, and sellers need to shift their mindsets. We want to help you make sure you don’t get stuck on the market, so we’re here to share some tips with you. 

The most important thing to pay attention to is making sure you price your house correctly. This means looking at proper comparables and adjusting for interest rate changes. Normally we look at about 90 days of comps, but right now, we can only look at the last 30 days because things have been changing so frequently.

 "Make sure you don’t get stuck on the market."

One thing we suggest is to consider pricing slightly below market value. This will bring more buyers in, as they’ll recognize that you’re giving a good deal. 

In addition, make sure to prepare your house properly. When we price a house, we do a thorough walkthrough and give recommendations on how to improve the value of your house. You should consider hiring a stager, getting high-quality photos, and more to take the necessary steps. All of these things will help considerably in combination with pricing correctly.
