The
kids are getting ready to go back to school soon and the cooler
weather of fall
in Boston, MA is just around the corner. If you are thinking of
selling
your Boston
home,
fall is only second to spring as the best time to put your home on
the market. With the impeding fall season, now is the time to prepare
your Boston
home
for going on the market.
Mortgage
rates recently went up and greater
mortgage increases are expected in 2015.
This means that your Boston homebuyers are out there now, ready to
buy before the winter holidays and the interest rate increases in
2015. Here are some tips for preparing your Boston
home.
Meet with a Real Estate Professional
A
qualified
Real Estate Professional
can help you decide what
your Boston home is worth via a comparative market analysis. Only
a true professional who is familiar with your specific neighborhood
can price is correctly so that it not just sells, but sells on time
and doesn’t leave you with a home for sale during the winter
months.
Conceal and De-Personalize
A
prospective buyer wants to be able to imagine themselves in your home
and that is hard to do when there are personalized knickknacks,
family photos, and general clutter. As a general rule, get rid of a
third of your stuff or more and put it into storage. Remove family
photos, collections, and other personal items. Maximize closet space
by also diminishing by a third and organize neatly what remains. If
your furniture is oversized, consider putting some pieces in storage
to make your room sizes appear larger.
Curb Appeal
The
first impression is the only impression that matters to your
prospective buyers. Before they reach the interior they have already
judged your home by the way it looks on the outside. If necessary,
spruce up your exterior with new paint on the front door or seasonal
décor added to your porch or front door.
When
the time comes to sell
your Boston Home please look for a professional, someone
well-versed in all aspects of the sale process. From strategic
marketing to negotiation, a qualified professional is a home seller's
best asset. Your satisfaction is the key to my success. Don't sell
your home without the help of an experienced agent. Contact
a Boston Real Estate Agent when you are ready. I look forward to
hearing from you!
