Today I am going to let you know exactly what you need to do in order to start a bidding war for your home this spring. The first thing to focus on is your home’s curb appeal, because it really does matter. When someone pulls up to your house, you want them to be drawn in by how nice your lawn, front porch, and front door are. The second thing to consider is the buyer’s first impression as they walk through the front door of your home. This means the interior staging is even more important, and so is the condition of your property. When a buyer walks in, you want them to be able to see themselves moving into that house. The third and final thing to focus on is pricing. Buyers know exactly what a property is worth, and they are generally well educated in this market, so it’s almost impossible to trick one into paying over market value. If you’re not getting the showings or the offers you want, it most likely has to do with the condition, the staging, or the pricing of your home.
