What factors do I need to consider when selling a home?

Finding the right price point is the first consideration. You don’t want to price your home too high or too low. The balance of the home should be paid with the money from the sale and you’ll want to make a profit to help with your next home purchase. Here are a few other factors to think about.

• Make sure you are ready. You should be able to afford to get your house sale-ready as well as to make the move to a new home. The time of year can also make a difference in how quickly you can sell–spring and summer are better times to put your home on the market because people have more free time to look at houses and the nicer weather and longer days make showing easier.

• Consider the condition of the home. You may need to make upgrades or repair cosmetic defects. Remember, many homebuyers may not be able to get past the look of your home if there are major issues. If your home is outdated, bringing in fresh appliances, new paint, and making exterior repairs can improve first impressions and increase the value of your home.

• Having great exposure is necessary for selling your home. The right homebuyers must know about your property. Those buyers will want what your home has to offer and be able to afford the price. Your realtor will employ professional marketing tactics such as open houses, signage, MLS listings, and website exposure to ensure the perfect buyers see your home
