Selling a house is a bit tricky. Especially when it comes to selling older homes, the process is highly stressful. If we decide on selling our old home, we invest so much in renovating it to make it show-ready. Though it helps in increasing the resale value of a property, there is much more to look upon before selling it. So what are the prime aspects of selling an old property? Let us hear it from an expert realtor.
ThreeBestRated® sought the advice of Rachel Delduca on selling an old home. Rachel Delduca is a prominent realtor and a 2021 ThreeBestAward® award winner for best real estate agents in Niagara Falls, ON. Having been in the real estate business for over a decade, Rachel presents a few strategies for selling an old home.
Tips for Selling Old Homes:
-
The First impression is the only impression: No matter how good the interior of your home looks, buyers have already judged your home before they walk through the door. You never have a second chance to make a first impression. So, make a remarkable first impression.
-
Always be ready to show: Your house needs to be “show-ready” at all times.
-
The kitchen comes first: You are not actually selling your house, you are selling your kitchen – that’s how important it is. The benefits of remodeling your kitchen are endless.
-
Take the home out of your house and stage: One of the most important things to do when selling your house is to de-personalize it. And Stage it!
-
Light it up: Maximize the light in your home. After location, good light is the one thing that every buyer cites. Buyers consider it to be imperative.
-
Curb appeal: Make your home appealing with the landscape and by painting your home outside.
-
Pricing it right: Find out what your home is worth, then shave 15 to 20 percent off the price. You will be stampeded by buyers with multiple bids — even in the worst markets — and they’ll bid up the price over what it is worth. It takes real courage, and most sellers don’t want to risk it. But it is the single best strategy to sell a home in today’s market.
