So it's halfway through summer, any maybe you've heard that the market is up. Maybe you've decided that now you want to get on that wagon and sell your home. Here's a few tips that I've picked up to determine if and when you might want/need to sell.
Typically June seems to be the busiest month, but lately, its trending into July and August. However, now being late July do you wonder if its too late?
It might not be, especially in Vegas where Summer seems to drag on through to October! If you do decide to list your home right now, make sure you play up on the summer features.
- Pool. If you have a pool, make sure it's working, free of debris and add some chairs around the area to make it inviting. With peak temps at over 100, most of the time, all I hear is the word pool. If it's ready for move in, that attracts more buyers.
- Continue to focus on the outdoors. If you have a patio, make sure it's clean and add furniture, bright colored pillows. Set the stage for an inviting retreat that buyers can be excited about sharing with their friends and family.
- AC. Keep it cool. I always say if you can, lower it a few degrees because when it's hot outside, they will want to be inside. Inside means more time in your home!
- Make it bright! This goes along with the AC, lowering it because doors will be opening, people coming in and out. Open the shades, blinds, everywhere! If you know people are coming, I recommend every light now and window open. At least while they are there.
Didn't sell in time for the Summer, or you think it may be too late? Have no fear! I believe that Fall is right behind summer. Some of the best Fall selling pros to name a few beat out summer in my opinion sometimes.
- Families travel during summer. Now that school is almost in session, they may be home and ready to start looking before the big holidays.
- The kids are back in school already, so they have more time to devote to looking for a home.
- Some buyers just don't want the bidding war of summer and will wait it out until the market slows.
Whatever the preference, you have to make sure that it works for you and work with an agent that can help you and that you trust. If you have any questions about buying or selling, feel free to contact me today! 702.285.7307 or sellwithstephanie@yahoo.com.
