Selling your Lake Nacimiento home in a busy spring market may seem like an overwhelming task.  In working with sellers in the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate marketfor a number of years, I know that there are anxieties about selling such as how long it will take, how much the home will sell for and what the seller will have to do to get their home ready to sell.

It makes sense that these concerns come to the forefront when considering selling your home.  Yet, the selling process can be smooth and efficient!  Here are a few key tips that I wanted to share with you if you’re hoping to take the next step with putting your home on the market.

1. Time it right- The spring Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market is an ideal time to put your home on the market.  Buyers are interested in finding their new home or vacation getaway before summer and are amping up their search!  If your home has been on the market throughout the winter, you may want to talk with your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent about taking it off the market and re-listing with new photos so it looks “fresh!”

2. Price it at exactly what it’s worth- One of the biggest challenges can be determining the correct listing price.  While you have an idea of what you’d like to make on your home, your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent will provide you with comparable homes on the market and current market stats, and will provide you with guidance for pricing it competitively and with your best interest in mind.  You don’t want to overprice and have your home sit on the market!  Price it right from the beginning to ensure the best response!

3. Get your home inspected before you list- In today’s market, buyers expect move in ready homes.  Be sure to have your home professionally inspected and make any updates necessary.  The buyer will more likely buy an Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home that they can move into right away!

4. Offer incentives up front- To help your home stand out from others on the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market, try to offer a few incentives right off the bat.  Whether it’s offering to pay closing costs or including a free home cleaning; these incentives will give your home that extra boost of appeal!

5. Wage war online- Did you know that 89% of buyers start their home search online?  Your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent should be able to show you exactly where your house is being marketed online.  Want to learn more about my home selling plan?  I’d love to talk with you!

6. Use the best agent- Your real estate agent will play a huge role in the home selling process.  Find an agent with experience in the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market and who has a solid record of home sales.  Taking time to do research will pay off in the long run!

7. Spend money on the three key spaces:

• The front of the house
Buyers decide in the first eight seconds of seeing a home if they’re interested in buying it. Get out of your car, walk in their shoes and see what they see within the first eight seconds. Edge your lawn, mulch your flower beds, trim your bushes, steam clean your driveway and paint your door and trim.

• The living room
Get rid of all your clutter, including a third of your furniture. Paint the walls a neutral white and add touches of color. If you can afford to stage one room, this is it.

• The kitchen
Invest in cheap expenses like changing the cabinet fronts, new lights and fixtures, new knobs and drawer pulls, installing a chic new backsplash, resurfacing the floors and getting one new, fancy-looking appliance.

8. Lighten your house- After location, light is the second-most cited reason buyers choose a particular house. Buyers want a lot of natural light and light, neutral colors on the wall when they’re looking at a Lake Nacimiento home.  Make sure the views from your Lake Nacimiento home are highlighted by trimming trees or shrubs and keeping things inside simple so that the focus can be the outdoors!

Following these tips will put you on the best path for getting your Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home sold!
