As anyone who has tried to sell their property will tell you, selling a home is not exactly an easy task. This holds even truer in a really hot real estate market. However, there are few unconventional but effective ideas that can help you sell off your property faster than anyone else in the neighborhood. Let us check them out here:
1. Let the Buyer Live at Your Place for a Day or Two
Auto showrooms allow test drives for their cars so why not do the same for your house? If you know a buyer who seems really interested but can’t quite make up his mind, why not allow them to sleep it over at your place? And it is not that it has never been done before. After all, people do use apps like Airbnb to rent out portions of their homes. This is a much bigger decision—both from the buyer and the seller’s point of view—so there is no harm in trying it out.
Think about the key features of your house that you like the most and then proceed to highlight them. For example, if the upstairs bedroom has a divine view of the sunset, put in some new comforters and some snacks to go with a bottle of wine to make the place as cozy as possible for the guests. You can also deck up your master bathroom with essential oils and scents and make sure that there is plenty of hot water available.
2. Price It Perfectly
There is a trick to the perfect pricing strategy. First, you should find the average worth of your house in the market and then you should shave 15 to 20 % or so from this price. Yes, it is a bold move, but it can pay off in the long run if you play your cards right.
This is because even in a very slow market, everyone wants a great deal and buyers will rush to your door. More buyers means a bidding war and they will try to outbid each other until you end up on a price that is nearly the same as the market price.
3. Keep Your Pets Away
Most people think that a nice cuddly dog or a purring cat is the last word when it comes to warming the hearts of any potential buyer. However, that is not the way it works. A half-eaten tray of dog food or a smelly kitty litter box in the hall can make a really bad impression. Not many people want tufts of pet fur or feathers stuck to their clothing the very first time they come to check your place out. It gives an unkempt appearance to your whole property. If you are planning an opening day, try and send the pets away. After all, it will only be for a few hours at most.
