Putting your home on the market is exciting. It can be nerve-wracking, too. How do you sort through all the decisions and options? Here are some considerations to keep in mind:

Is It Worth Your Time and Money?

Before you update your 1970s bathroom, know that you may not recoup all your remodeling costs when you sell. Some remodeling choices actually make it harder to sell a home, such as materials on their way out of style. Other upgrades may be necessary to attract any reasonable offers at all. Additional factors are the condition of nearby homes for sale, 房子的价格范围, and how much current conditions lean toward a buyer’s or seller’s market.

什么能帮助每个家庭

无论大小, 年龄, 价格, 或者你家的位置, it pays to make sure it’s clean, 整洁的, 有吸引力的, and free from minor nuisances. New paint and a few plants go a long way to making a positive first impression. 另一方面, 把大门, 杂草丛生的草坪, or dripping faucets can turn 买家 off before they give your home a fair chance.

Don’t Underestimate the Significance of This

Perhaps no factor is as important as your asking 价格. A too-high number may dissuade offers and leave the property languishing unsold, while a lower one may spark a bidding war that drives offers higher than you had dared dream. Elements outside your control may also dictate 价格, such as market conditions and time constraints to sell.
