The Top 3 Key Selling Points for Homes
When selling a home, certain factors play a crucial role in closing a deal quickly and efficiently. Here are the top three selling points that, if executed well, can significantly enhance your chances of selling your home.
Exceptional Photography
Most home buyers begin their search online, making first impressions critical. "It looked bigger in the photos" is a common phrase among prospective buyers, highlighting the importance of professional photography. Avoid common pitfalls like using smartphone photos, showing dark rooms, or having cars in driveways. High-quality images can increase foot traffic by captivating potential buyers and prompting more in-person visits, leading to increased offers.
Maximizing Access
Accessibility can make or break a sale, depending on whether you still occupy the home. Homes that are easy to show tend to receive more offers. In contrast, my experience representing buyers has shown that the best deals often come from homes that were difficult to access or show. If buyers face too many hurdles in viewing a property, they might simply move on to the next option.
Competitive Pricing
Pricing is perhaps the most influential factor in home sales. A competitively priced home is likely to sell faster and potentially above asking price compared to one with a high initial listing price. Even with suboptimal access and less-than-ideal photos, a well-priced home can still attract quick offers.
While there are many other details to consider when selling your home, focusing on these three aspects can greatly expedite the process. By ensuring your home is well-presented, easily accessible, and competitively priced, you are setting the stage for a successful and speedy sale.
