Selling your Lake Nacimiento home in the fall may seem like a daunting task with the quieter real estate market.  However, while you may not be putting your home on the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market busy spring or summer season, there are still interested buyers who are looking for a home to be settled in before the busy holiday season hits.

I’ve pulled together a list of five things you’ll want to do to get your home ready to sell.  Whether you live in Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch, buyers will see the value and care you’ve put into your home and will realize a fantastic sale when they see it.  This doesn’t mean that you have to do an overhaul on your home and price it extremely low to get it sold!  Taking note of what helps a home sell, what others are selling their Lake Nacimiento homes for, and having a savvy Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent by your side will help ensure your home sells in a timely and efficient manner.

Here are five valuable tips to get you started!

1. Research– While your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent will provide you with comparables of what other homes in your neighborhood are selling for, taking the time to do a little research on your own will help you prepare for what you can expect. Take note of home prices in your area and what upgrades those homes have to offer.

2. Fix it Up– You’ll want to know what needs to be fixed before buyers begin looking at your home. Having a “pre-inspection” by a home inspector will allow you to fix any necessary repairs so that they don’t come up in the buyers home inspection. This can help speed up the process once you find an interested buyer.

3. Act Like a Buyer– If you were looking at your home as a buyer, what would you see? Are there any updates you’d want to make such as paint, appliances or finishes? Acting like a buyer for your own home will give you insight into what you can do to make your Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home more attractive to buyers.

4. Make it Move In Ready– Today’s buyers have the option to be picky and many want a home that’s move in ready. Your home will need to have those key factors that are now considered standard in a Lake Nacimiento home such as granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.

5. Price it Right– This is a key factor that cannot be stressed enough. Pricing a home correctly from the beginning will help you sell your home more quickly. Your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent will work with you to show you what other homes are selling for and to determine a fair market value for your home. If your home is priced too high, it will sit on the market and you’ll eventually have to lower your price. If you decide on a price that is the lowest you’d like to go, be prepared to offer buyers other incentives such as closing costs or a flexible closing date.

As a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent, my goal is to help you succeed in your real estate goals and I hope these tips give you greater insight into how to reach them!
