Hot Market
You have not missed your chance to SELL your home in a HOT market. It is still on here in Western NC. Now is the time to get your home in shape to list. Here are a few things you can do now to get prepped.
1. Get out on the curb! Yes, this is the most important, especially in the winter months when it looks a bit drab outside. Look at your home from the street and inspect the view as a Buyer. Is the mailbox clean and shiny? This is most often the first thing your Buyers are going to see. Does the sidewalk need a good powerwash? Fill any cracks, too. Are the shrubs pruned and lawn edged? The bushes against the home shouldn't be touching the exterior of the home. Make sure all hoses and lawn tools are neatly put away as you won't want anyone falling and getting hurt on your property. Does the front door need a coat of paint or staining? Place a big pot of flowers, like pansies, or an evergreen at the front door to welcome guests into your home. Does the light fixture at the front door need updating or a new bulb. Did you know that the home inspector will mark a light fixture as broken if there's no bulb? Since some of us never use our front doors and they get covered with bird nests and spider webs. Your goal for the Buyer is to find a well-cared for and cherished home. Make it picture perfect.
