The decision to put your home on the market is a big one and there are many factors, such as logistics and finances, to consider. Before putting your home on the market, ask us any questions you may have and we can put your mind at ease. Below are 3 frequent questions we get asked:
Question #1 - How Will You Determine the Price of My Home?
To determine the price of a home, we look at recent comparable sales in your neighborhood as well as active listings. Comparables are homes with the same or similar layouts, sizes, and conditions. This will give a good baseline valuation for a home.
Question #2 - Should I Make Improvements to Increase My Home’s Resale Value?
When we walk through your home together, we can note a few things that may need to be repaired, or some out-of-date fixtures that may need to be replaced for your home to show well. We also leverage professional interior designers/stagers on our team to guide us on making your home as appealing as possible to buyers in today’s market.
Question #3 - Will Bigger Updates Give me a Better Return on Invest?
The short answer: No. The National Association of Realtors found that some of the most cost-effective improvements with the highest ROI include those related to curb appeal. Things like a new front door, a lush and maintained lawn, and spruced-up landscaping have a big impact. For the interior, a fresh coat of paint, deep cleaning, and decluttering can make a huge difference on how a home is perceived.
