Are you a current Canton home owner who is thinking about listing your property on the local housing market?
If so, then you have arrived at the right place. Now is an excellent time to try to sell your property on the Canton housing market, simply because there is so much home buying energy right now!
But before you enter the market, you should know that there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about selling your property.
Today, I’m going to tell you three ways that you can ensure that you’re going to make money on your next home sale.
Selling Your Canton Home the Right Way
The first way to ensure you’ll turn a profit when you sell your home on the market is to find a great listing agent to work with you.
This agent will help you determine the exactly right listing price for your property and will also work tirelessly to negotiate the most beneficial contract for you.
What’s more, this agent will work hard to give your home for sale maximum exposure, ensuring that you’re going to reach the highest amount of prospective and qualified buyers in the shortest amount of time.
Second, make sure you’re pricing your home correctly, right out of the gate. Some home sellers want to overprice their property because they want to leave themselves wiggle room to negotiate.
But the problem with this strategy is it has a tendency to turn off interested home buyers before they ever set foot in the house. And this will cause your home to languish on the market, which will make it increasingly unattractive to buyers who will start to wonder, “What’s wrong with this house that no one has bought it?”
Instead, you want to study the market overall as well as recent sales of homes similar to yours. How much were they selling for? How long did they last on the market?
You may even want to tour some open houses to get a feel for what your competition is offering. Try to spot trends among those homes that sell as well as those homes that don’t. Then, adjust your marketing strategy accordingly.
Finally, prepare your home for sale on the Canton real estate market.
Some sellers may be tempted just to stick a sign in the front yard and wait for the people to arrive. But this is not likely to work in the long run.
Instead, prepare your home for sale by giving it a thorough cleaning from top to bottom and maybe even taking some extra steps like hiring professional landscapers to increase your home’s curb appeal. If you have available funds, you may even want to hire a professional home stager to show off your home in its very best way.
