If you are selling your home, there are plenty of ways to impress potential buyers more than you already know. When you know what buyers want, you can focus your efforts to things that will get you closer to that signed deal.
Here are the 3 biggest turn-ons for homebuyers according to Realty Times:
Curb appeal
You only get one chance to make that positive and lasting first impression. The goal is to sell even before potential buyers set foot inside your home; that's how important curb appeal is. The potential buyers should be blown away by what they see that when they pull over, they'd want to rush out of the car and checkout what's inside.
It's all about impressing with your curb appeal; and this means showing attention to detail. See to it that your house stands out from the outside; make sure that it screams "in good condition".
Sweep the driveway, walkway, porch and entry of any dirt and debris that could catch the attention of potential buyers. Get rid of wilted flowers, broken branches, and leggy bushes that may suggest "I don't really care". Instead, maintain a nice garden with fresh flowers that says "buy me."
Space
Space is gold in real estate, and when potential buyers see it in a property, they would almost immediately want to close the deal. If your home has plenty of space, you are very lucky! But don't turn that to bad luck by leaving that golden space messy and disorganized. Make sure that everything is in their proper place before potential buyers come in for viewing.
But if your home is not endowed with the excessive square footage, you can create space by doing some storing and staging. Keep the floors clear of kids' toys and the countertops of unopened mails and days old cup of coffee. Keep everything neat and minimal to mirror a spacious and airy home.
Updates
Do you know what will make potential home buyers hand you over their down payment? A cheaper, older home with several updates. You don't need to upgrade an entire kitchen; just a few solutions to some dated features can already do the trick - new cabinet hardware, a new faucet, or an in-trend backsplash. Know what buyers are looking for and aim to please.
