There are many things that can be recommended to increase the value of a property and attract buyers. For example, a swimming pool or a smart system may be important for someone, but not for others.
Take a look at our list of hidden hazards so you can formulate the best strategy for your home sale.
Elegant mahogany banisters or enchanting wrought-iron railings wind their way down to a grand foyer, while upper-level bay windows give way to sweeping views of the front garden and beyond. There’s certainly much to appreciate in a multi-story home. Yet for some buyers, navigating stairs can prove difficult. Those nearing retirement or with movement restrictions may prefer a single-story property. In this case, you solve the problem, offering at least a master bedroom on the ground.
One of the key tips for selling your home is to make an impression on buyers both outside and in. A back garden with plenty of acreage, lushly landscaped flowerbeds and an outdoor deck with a fire pit can be a dream come true for buyers who enjoy gardening or entertaining. This can be a divisive issue however, as others may prefer a maintenance-free garden with a small, private yard.
For warm climates, beachfront neighbourhoods or other popular holiday destinations, an in-ground pool is an expected home feature. However, in cooler climates, as well as in a town, the pool will be used only for a few months every year. The cost of maintenance may not outweigh the benefit of summer usage in this case. On the other side, building the pool in an indoor warm space may be the perfect solution.
Hardwood flooring is often touted as the safest choice to attract a wide swathe of buyers, being both classic and easy to renovate or upgrade. Moreover, a house enriched by a parquet is warmer and more elegant. By contrast, tile flooring is quite difficult to remove should the new owners wish to install an alternate material. It can also be conflict-ridden, with preferred patterns and styles varying widely according to personal tastes.
Your house location is a key factor to know both its value and the perfect buyer.
Centrally located properties near bustling shopping or business districts hold appeal for a young, urban demographic. Quiet neighbourhoods as well as country-houses might be the perfect home for families with children and for older people. Moreover, homes positioned near densely built-up commercial areas or busy roads often take longer to sell.
Add value to your property renovating, for example, the kitchen and the bathrooms. Moreover, high-tech smart home features may have a strong appeal on potential buyers. Before spending money, conduct a research to determine which features are in higher demand in your neighbourhood.
