With limited inventory in our market, there is a great opportunity for those looking to sell their home. I aim to be your real estate guide and advisor to ensure you maximize the return on your investment. There are many places to get tripped up as you prepare and go active on the market that can get in the way of your ultimate goal: getting the most money for your home. Here are a few insights I think can help you stay on the right track.
1) Overpricing is a MISTAKE - There is a ton of strategy that goes into pricing a home for market. The strategy adapts to each unique home, current market factors, and the conditions in your micro area. Positioning your home WITHIN the market range will generally result in more views, increased demand, and a higher sale price. Pricing too high outside the market range will limit views, increase days on market, and ultimately result in lower sale prices in the end. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Your FIRST WEEKEND is the Time to Shine - Almost HALF (49.9%) of single-family homes in the greater Denver metro go under contract in the first week. This underscores the importance of ensuring that listings are impeccably presented—cleaned, staged, photographed professionally, and pre-inspected. Listings that don't hit the mark right away often linger on the market for 30-60 days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Stay Flexible for Showings - Flexibility is key when it comes to accommodating showings for potential buyers. Many times in a fast-paced cycle, you won’t get a second chance. By being open to scheduling showings at various times, including evenings and weekends, you maximize the opportunity for interested buyers to view your home.
