The first impression may not always be the best impression, as they say, but it is certainly the lasting one especially when it comes to selling your house in Canada. If certain things look impressive and basically in good conditions in your home, you will be more likely to find a buyer for your property and eventually, more confident when negotiating over the price.
The appearance and especially the areas visible to the streets are of the highest importance. Make sure that these areas are looked after properly and recently. You also need to make sure that the driveway is clear and not cluttered. On the inside, the furniture should also look clean.
Apart from the appearance, the price you announce may come as a part of the first impression. In fact, the customer may learn about the price even before they come to visit your house. Research shows that setting the price rightly, guarantees a successful selling to 95% while the chances can come down to 50% if you set the price of your home only 10% above the market value. Therefore, you need to set the price carefully. It is also a fact that a buyer looks at 10 homes on average before they actually buy one. In other words, if you set the price of your home fairly, you will have a larger number of customers to choose from rather than having to wait for a customer to accept your relatively high price.
Another important point is to know the reason why you are selling your house. Your reason can clearly affect your pricing and your whole action plan. For example, if what you are looking for is a maximum profit margin, you may want to take a little more time enhancing your property while being limited in time can change your whole strategy.
On the subject of improvement and enhancement, it must be also mentioned that a wrong kind of improvement may not bring along an expected profit. Make sure that you know the percentage of cost recovery for any sort of improvement you do.
And finally, hiring a realtor can make life easier for you as a qualified realtor can market your property for you and basically come up with a suitable action plan on how to sell your home. But you also need to bear in mind that you are actually a ‘buyer’ to their service so it is strongly advisable that you have several candidates before you choose one.
