You need to determine if it’s a buyer or seller’s market that is currently taking place if you are deciding to sell your home. If the news media is talking about property it could be it’s a buyer’s market. The reason for this market is the absence of consumer confidence. This has occurred because of instability in the interest rates and a concern for the economy.
The real estate market is flat without much action taking place. People want security and if there is negative media coverage occurring it causes the public to be wary.
What dictates a promising future for a buyer’s market in Australia and anywhere really is that there is strength in population growth, smaller sized households, low unemployment and stable interest rates.
So what can be done to help the seller get the top dollar?
Presentation:
Go the extra step and use professionals to clean the home. A full house clean completed by experts can do a lot for the presentation. The cost for this service is small in comparison to the possible increases in value of the property it can create. Then make every effort yourself, or ask your tenants to keep the property in spick and span shape for each inspection.
Hire a professional photographer:
For your visual advertising campaign remember a picture is worth a thousand words. Your images should produce a very clear impressive visual presentation of your property. Professional photographers know all the right things to do to portray the best that your property has to offer.
Use an expert for styling:
These professionals can come into your home and stage it so it looks very impressive. It may mean re-organizing what is presently in the home, or even renting some appropriate furniture that will lend to the appeal of the home. The cost for this can range from a couple of hundred dollars up into the thousands depending on how extensive you want it to be.
A fresh coat of paint goes a long way:
You can turn drab looking rooms into fresh bright presentations with a simple coat of paint. Focus on the high traffic rooms that get the more wear and tear. This would be your kitchen, bathrooms and master bedrooms. It will take more labor than money for this exercise but it will be well worth it.
Pay attention to the little touches:
If you are holding a sales campaign in the evening, pay attention to the lighting both on the interior as well as exterior. Check to see if any light bulbs are burned out. Night time viewers want to be able to see what your property has to offer, and don’t want to be stumbling around in the dark.
Also you always want to be sure that your “for sale” sign is totally visible so make sure there is lighting on it at night for easy viewing.
