To prepare for what looks to be a busy Spring home selling season, a new article from U.S. News compiles five important things home sellers should do to set their home apart from other homes for sale.
Along with tulips and daffodils, “For Sale” signs will soon be popping up across neighborhood lawns. An improving labor market in the U.S. is expected to spur increased home sales in 2015, so if you’ve been wanting to sell your home, low interest rates and tight inventory levels should create an attractive environment.
Take the time to do a deep Spring cleaning on your home. Clean your windows. Consider a fresh coat of paint. Clean the grout in your ceramic tile. Consider whether your carpets need cleaning. And spruce up your landscaping, which includes flower beds and bushes.
Clean out the clutter in your home, and consider packing away your winter clothes, so the closets appear more spacious.
And don’t hike up the sale price. Real estate experts advise being realistic when it comes to your selling price. It needs to be competitive.
