Make Your Home Ready to Hit the Market

No doubt you’ve had your eye on the housing market lately. Over the last couple of years, home equities have grown significantly due to pandemic effects impacting the housing market, such as buyer demand outpacing the inventory of available housing supply. If you’re now wondering how to best put all of that equity you’ve earned to good use, but you’re concerned that maybe you’ve waited too long, the good news is that you haven’t.

Let’s review some of the most important fundamentals occurring in today’s market to help you capitalize on this moment.

In short: selling is still simple!

If you’re a current homeowner wanting to sell, but you’re concerned about the time you anticipate having to put in before listing your house, you should know that your home might be closer to list-ready than you think in today’s housing market. A recent survey of sellers from realtor.com finds that many were able to get their house ready in less than a month. 

With many homeowners expecting a quick sale, and in many cases a lack of contingencies, the preparation process took less than a month for over 50% of home sellers this past year, with 20% completing it in less than two weeks.

Sellers expecting to sell fast are following recent buyer trends, and with mortgage rates and home prices rising, buyers in today’s market are serious about finding a home quickly. But with today’s market imbalance between housing supply and buyer demand, there are very few options for those buyers to choose from, with some buyers willing to take on certain renovation projects after they purchase.

Because of this, you may be able to focus on more minor time-consuming tasks before putting your house on the market. For example, some of the top home-improvement projects recent sellers completed before listing over the past year include landscaping, making minor cosmetic updates, and touching-up paint.

Streamline the home preparation process and stay focused

Of course, each situation is different and knowing what repairs or updates your house needs to stand out in your local area is critical. That’s where a trusted real estate professional comes in. 

“. . . Real estate can be hyper-local, and demand can vary from one neighborhood to the next. It’s a good idea to work with a local real estate professional to determine an ideal listing price and if any improvements or repairs need to be completed before putting your home on the market.”
