Five Ways to Speed the Sale of Your Home
Making your home more attractive in the buyer's eyes is a sure way to get a good price for your home, and it will speed up the sale. Here are 5 suggestions to make your home sell faster.
- Conduct a pre-sale inspection with a home warranty. A pre-sale inspection gives the buyer a baseline evaluation and condition of the house. Inspection costs range from $200 to $500.
- Offer a Home Warranty. A home warranty policy offers you and the buyer some protection against unexpected repairs. Warranties range from $300 to $400.
- Pretend you're the buyer. The more pleasing and memorable the experience of viewing your home, the more likely a buyer is to either make an offer on the spot or return to see it again. Set aside your emotional attachment and act on your instincts. Warm up the decor if it seems sterile. Trim your shrubbery if it blocks a clear curbside view of the house.
- Offer financial help. Aiding a buyer financially can be tricky, but in the right circumstances (for example, if you have a lot of equity), assisting the buyer with closing costs can make a deal happen.
- Be flexible about move-in arrangements. There is nothing that will kill a sale faster, than a buyer that either has to wait for a long period of time before closing and moving or that has to find temporary housing after closing because the house is still occupied (either by you or by tenants). If you think you may not be able to move out of your home or have it vacant prior to the closing date, contact both your attorney and real estate agent and make sure the necessary provisions are made in order to avoid problems in the future, where you may end up losing money.
