Guide To Making Your Home Stand Out to Buyers

Guide To Making Your Home Stand Out to Buyers

May 18, 2023 By Fatherhood Factor Team Leave a Comment

Selling your home can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve lived in the same place for a long time. You want to ensure your home looks its best so that potential buyers feel drawn to it. However, you may not know where to start. In this guide, we’ll outline several ways to make your home stand out to buyers and make a lasting impression on anyone who walks through the door.

Remove Clutter

When potential buyers come to your home, there shouldn’t be toys and other clutter piled in living spaces. Unfortunately, clutter makes your home look smaller, messier, and less appealing. So before you show your home to anyone, take some time to declutter.

Get rid of anything you don’t need, such as old clothes, outdated furniture, and broken appliances. You can throw these items away, donate them, sell them, or bring them to your new house if possible.

Replace Old Appliances

If your home’s appliances are outdated or look old, it’s time to consider replacing them. This includes items like your washer and dryer, refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher. Buyers want a move-in ready home, and having brand-new or updated appliances goes a long way in making your home more appealing.

When shopping for new home appliances, evaluate your options. For example, there are various pros and cons of induction cooktops and ranges. They’re safer and cook faster, but they cost more upfront. However, the safety features and faster cooking make it a larger asset to the home, which increases value.

Tend to the Landscaping

The first thing that buyers will see when they pull up to your home is your landscaping. This includes your lawn, shrubs, flowers, and trees. You want your landscaping to look neat, clean, and well-maintained.

Maintain a manicured yard when your house is on the market, especially when buyers come for an open house. If you have a porch or a deck, adding some potted plants or hanging baskets is a good way to make your home look more inviting.

Price Appropriately

The final tip to make your home stand out to buyers is to price it appropriately. By using websites such as Zillow or working with a real estate agent, you can gauge how much similar homes in the area sell for. Maximize your home’s value and increase your chances of a quick sale with these valuable insights.

If you set the price too high, people may not tour the property, and the longer a house is on the market, the more its value drops. Selling your house can be a bitter-sweet experience, but remember that it will become a home to someone new.
