Are you looking to sell your home in the near future? Despite what you may have heard, you can still get a great deal in this market; however, you need to know how to get your home ready for the market before listing. Today, we’re breaking down how you can get your home ready for the open market without breaking the bank.

First, one of the best things you can do to prepare your home for the market at minimal cost is to deep clean and declutter. Buyers won’t appreciate a dirty home or one where they can’t see its best features. They want to envision themselves living in your property, so depersonalize your space and try to turn it into a shopping experience for buyers. You may even want to consider renting a storage unit for extra things just to make sure that your home is as clean and crisp as possible.

Next, you need to take care of necessary repairs before hitting the market. A lot of people live with broken things because they don’t seem important enough to fix, but even minor repairs can affect how buyers perceive the value of your home. It’s important to remember that not all repairs are made equal. Some are essential, while others aren’t necessary. Give us a call, and we can walk through your home and point out which repairs are really worth the time and effort.

Finally, you need to account for closing costs. There are essential fees and costs that come with closing a housing transaction, and you need to budget for them. That’s why we provide our clients with a net sheet that shows all their costs against the profit they aim to gain from selling.

If you need help calculating the costs of your home sale or repairs, please call at (801) 821-9400 or email us. We’d love to hear from you!
