PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR SALE (or just a re-do)

Home staging can possibly give your home a quick sale and high return on your investment. So, to archive this you will need to stage your home. Unless, of course, your area is selling like hot cakes.

But, today’s volatile marketplace is starting to climb down from up high and the prices are getting to somewhat reasonable levels. So now especially, you will want to have your house stand out from the others.

Staging is not only about clearing out clutter and re-arranging furniture, but could also include painting, redecorating and landscaping. The best way to evaluate the big ticket items is to look at your home. Is the kitchen old, worn and un-inviting? How about the bathrooms? Are they old and outdated? These upgrades usually bring a good return on your investment, but plan carefully and use neutral colors.

You can also speak to your realtor, but keep in mind they want to sell your home, so they may not want you to take the time to update. So, ask how much more your house can sell for with the upgrades. Ask others (friends, family and neighbors) also and try to decide on a price for your house. But be flexible and decide what’s important. Do you need to sell quickly or for the right price? Your realtor can help with those decisions, so tell them what you want and expect in the sale of your house.
