Buying a home? Search all homes for sale
We're in a very hot market right now, and competition for homes is fierce. You'll need to spruce up your home in order to attract buyers, so today I'm going to be discussing three important things you must do in order to make your Jacksonville home irresistible to buyers.
- Curb appeal: In order to attract buyers to the inside of your home, you're going to need to focus on the outside. If people see a well-kept home on the outside, they're probably going to be under the impression that the inside is also in good condition. You will need to clean your windows, power wash your exterior, add in some new mulch, trim up your bushes, plant some flowers, and maybe even repaint your exterior.
- Interior appearance: When trying to sell your home, there's nothing more important to a buyer than the appearance. You will want to repaint your home if it's colored differently throughout, and you should emphasize light earth tones. Lighter colors can easily be painted over, and this is good for when buyers move in. Decluttering is also important, because you don't want buyers focusing on all the things in your home, you want them to look at the space in your home.
- Clean, clean, clean: It's surprising how many home sellers don't deep clean their homes before they go to sell. Remember to clean the ceiling fans and dust your blinds, and don't forget about the baseboards. If you don't have time to clean, perhaps you can hire someone. You may not notice spots in your home that you've missed, but potential buyers surely will.
Hopefully these tips will be helpful to you when you're trying to sell your home this spring. If you have any questions or need further tips, please don't hesitate to contact me!
