As we come into the fall season real estate listings (For Sale) often outweighs demand, the easiest thing to do is to ensure your home is the best priced product on the market, in order to sell it fast. But that is not the only way out ~ there are other ways on how you can easily sell your home besides lowering the price. If you are almost done selling your home and need a new place for your family, then consider checking out some commercial real estate for sale.
Here are a few of them;
Make it unique from the neighbors.
For you to attract attention to your home, you need to improve the appearance, not only of the house itself but also of other factors such as landscaping design, façade features or the roof. This will improve the aesthetics of the home, effectively improving its value. Make sure the add-ons are attractive and do not compromise on higher tech amenities such as a smart home system, etc.
However, ensure you do not over-improve the house. Some add-ons may not always work to your advantage such as adding a fountain in the entrance. Do a thorough research on things that will add value to your house, and improve on them. After adding things that you think will be attractive to a potential buyer, make sure you mention them in your listing information.
Clean the clutter
Make sure you clean the house and any other stuff around it to make it appealing to the buyer. Buyers usually see themselves in that environment. Get rid of excessive furniture to make it appear a little larger. You can even hire the services of a stager who will help you make good use of space, helping you to organize spaces and remove clutter. It may be an additional cost, but it is well worth the sacrifice in the end.
Make the deal sweeter
Always try and make your deal sweeter than other deals offered.
- You may want to consider offering the buyer some credit in terms of closing costs.
- You can also offer a limited warranty on some of the appliances such as air conditioners in case they fail within a specified period of time and an air conditioning repair is needed.
- Offer a super quick, or delayed closing to meet the buyers needs.
Improve the curb appeal
First impressions are lasting ones. One of the things buyers look for when they want to buy a home is its external appearance and how it blends with the environment. You can create a stunning, low-maintenance landscape with Eco Landscapes, your expert guide in sustainable outdoor design to improve the curb appeal.
Make sure the outside appearance of the house shines. For example, you might consider repainting the exterior, hiring that residential paving service to fix those cracks, and enlisting a professional gardener to fluff or create some magnificent flower beds. A nice paving job in the front of your home will improve the overall façade of your lot.
Make it “ready to occupy”
Make sure the home is in the right state for occupancy. Ensure all appliances are in good working condition and give the impression that the house can be occupied as soon as possible. Check your commercial hvac system to see if heating maintenance or air conditioner repair is needed so you know if you need to contact air conditioning services for assistance.

Give it the right price
Irrespective of how well you renovate your house, ensure you appropriately price it. Do thorough research on how much the houses in that area are going for. You should not price it too low especially after you have done all the improvements. Similarly, ensure the price does not cross the average boundary. Assume you are the buyer and determine what you would consider a fair price.
