If you're thinking of selling next spring (the busiest season in real estate), start thinking about what changes you want to make now before your home is on the market. From small repairs and decluttering to touch-ups and demos, the earlier you start, the easier it will be later on.
Your home has a better chance at selling faster and for the best offer if it's in its best shape. Starting now means you can space out any changes and decide what's of highest priority to you. Whether fixing a leaky faucet, repainting your front door, or finally replacing your roof, take the time to enjoy the repairs.
Talking to a local agent is always helpful in figuring out what's worth doing and what's not, based on your local market. Skilled local agents can tell you:
- What buyers in your area are looking for
- The repairs or updates you should do before listing
- How to prioritize the projects
- Share trusted local contractors who can help you get the work done
Having that kind of information is a game-changer. Contact our team today to get our advice on your home.
According to research from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) these are the top projects agents recommend before selling:
- Paint the exterior
- Paint a room
- Replace the roof
- Upgrade the kitchen
- Renovate the bathroom
This is just general advice. We recommend consulting a trusted local agent to get advice specific to you and your home.
