Even in a seller’s market, there are ways to boost your chances of receiving more offers and selling your home for top value. Check out these expert tips to make the best first impression possible:
Clean and Declutter: Clean, clean, and clean some more! Even if you can’t stage every room, it’s essential to keep each space spotless and clutter-free. Pay special attention to counters, carpets, flooring, and appliances. A clean home not only shows pride of ownership but also highlights the potential of each space to buyers.
Depersonalize: As you clean, make sure to depersonalize your spaces. Remove family photos, kids’ drawings, and other personal items, replacing them with more neutral decor. This helps potential buyers envision themselves in the home.
Focus on Key Spaces: Concentrate on the primary areas of your home—living room, kitchen, dining room, and master bedroom. If you can’t stage every room, these are the most important to showcase your home’s best features.
Consider a Fresh Coat: Did you know that 36% of buyers prefer a home with a fresh coat of paint? A quick paint job can make your home look new and revitalized, according to the RE/MAX Canada Renovation Investment Report.
Boost Curb Appeal: Don’t forget about curb appeal! The exterior is just as important as the interior, if not more so, for first impressions. Start by power washing your driveway and exterior walls to make your home’s entrance shine.
