At Your Blooming Best
Getting your property primed for a spring sale
Although serious home buyers are prepared to brave any weather, springtime traditionally attracts an increase in highly marketable property.
This offers widespread appeal for buyers in a post winter stock-depleted market.
Selling your home in spring is certain to attract keen buyer interest and this ever-promising selling season also ensures your property is presented at its blooming best.
National house prices are rising and listings can’t keep up with FOMO (fear of missing out)demand and analysts predict no slowdown in the immediate future.
It’s a seemingly fraught scenario that bodes well for owners selling in spring. Despite the widespread affordability crisis, housing stock increases, it can’t get much lower, which are anticipated for most regions and are expected to boost buyer confidence.
Top tips for creating winning results
Owners with deeper pockets may choose to invest in professional landscaping and refurbishment prior to open homes; however, property owners can achieve an overall impression of a streamlined interior and exterior finish — with minimum outlay and moderate effort.
Complete all minor repair projects. Making sure that everything is fixed and in smooth working order will translate to capital results at sale time.
Adopt a neutral tone when repainting walls, floors and ceilings, but make sure to splash out on vibrancy when it comes to creating a warm welcome at your front door.
Contemporise fixtures and fittings, such as lighting, bathroom mirrors, taps and cabinet ware, to suit your interior style. Cosmetic makeovers are not only affordable, but also add visual appeal — given the extensive product and services range on offer from local suppliers.
Pay attention to detail when decluttering and spring cleaning. Less is not only more, but also creates the illusion of extra space when potential buyers come knocking.
If your décor is not up to standard, consider renting furniture and artwork for home staging effect with the wow factor.
Make sure your homesmells great on viewing day - flowers and quality burning oils can make for a memorable buyer experience.
Follow the advice of your agent. They will knowledgeably guide you and provide trusted tips and guidelines — plus contact points for reputable home makeover service providers — when preparing and presenting your property in sparkling form.
