It's spring and you've always been told that this is the perfect time to put your Wellesley or Metrowest home on the market. That's TRUE, but what else should you focus on to insure that your home sells quickly; at the highest possible price? Here are a few things to consider when you're looking objectively at your Metrowest Home:
You know you have an incredible house that you've put your loving touch into, but what else can you let potential Buyer's know?
1. Are you living in an area with spectacular views of wooded lands, water, historical significance?
2. What is your neighborhood like? Is it extra friendly where neighbor helps neighbor when someone's in need?
3. Your local schools....what are they like, can you highlight something specific with the teachers, teaching philosophy, awards?
4. Do you have outdoor living space? Great patio or deck, outside stove for cooking summer meals, plenty of space for entertaining?
5. Is your yard exceptionally large or beautifully landscaped?
6. Do you have a corner lot?
7. Have you recently put on a new roof, siding, shingles, windows?
Then look inside your home and do the same.
1. Do you have a fireplace and hearth that is different than many they may see in other homes?
2. What about your kitchen, the heart of your home? Granite or Marble Countertops? Designed by a Home Interior Professional? Center island with vegetable sink?
3. Is your home friendly to the environment? Have you used energy efficient windows & doors, do you have solar panels, is the flooring bamboo or cork?
4. What about storage space, mud rooms, bonus rooms?
5. Are there beautiful hardwood floors under your carpets?
The graph above shows the percentage of home buyers that felt these "Hidden Gems" were worth every penny they cost in the overall sales price of a home.
These are all things that you want to highlight about your home, that shows the buyer the difference and special "gems" in your home versus other ones they may look at... and why your home is the only one they'll want to buy. At Team Lynch Real Estate, we look at all these special selling points with you to develop a marketing strategy that optimizes these features and in turn highlights them for potential buyers.
