Now that you’re ready to sell your home, you might go through some setbacks.
The first step in the home selling process is to get your home ready to sell. It’s important to prepare for all the things that could happen so the process goes well. There are things that will happen during the transaction that might send you into a panic. These things are totally normal part of the process of selling a house.
Mortgage Rates
Mortgage rates are expected to remain low, and home prices are forecast to rise more slowly. Flexibility is important to buyers now more than ever. Because of this, more sellers have to make concessions. Understanding the current market before selling your home is key to a successful sale.
Home Staging
Even if you’re very confident with your interior design, you will still need a lot of staging. Decluttering and depersonalizing your home is a key to selling. Start decluttering, organize your closets, and start changing to neutral paint colors for every room.
Home Inspection
Buyers will always hire the most thorough inspector they could find. A pre-listing home inspection will reveal things you should repair, potential problems, and the exact condition of your home. If you’re concerned about potential issues, we’re here to listen and help walk you through the process.
Since the start of the pandemic, second homes have risen in popularity. Numerous second-home markets are showing an increase in sales. Today’s buyers are showing more interest in homeownership than rental potential and future appreciation. Most notably families with young children are looking for properties near to their primary residence. Before the pandemic, second homes were considered more of a weekend getaway, but now homeowners may be looking at these properties to enjoy for longer periods of time. Since parents are working remotely and children are learning remotely, the needs for that second home have significantly increased. The pandemic brought changes that make people more likely to move.
