With house prices falling in recent years - in fact house sales have fallen by up to 72% in some areas of the North West - it has never been more essential to ensure that your property looks it's best when trying to sell to potential buyers. As well as relying on the general fluctuations of house prices, there are things you can do to help your home sell to the highest bidder. You want buyers to fall in love with your home, find a wow factor and fall in love with your home. You need a buyer to buy your home with their heart rather than their head and pay over the odds. The only way to do this is to stand out from the crowd.
The most important room in the home that buyers look at is the kitchen. A good quality, tasteful kitchen will add thousands to the value of your home, and buyers will feel that it's one expense they don't have to budget for when they move in. The best way to come up trumps is to get a brand new kitchen for a small amount of money.
Therefore, if you are selling your home, what steps can you take to make it look more attractive to buyers?
The first step is to contact an estate agent to get their take on how your home compares to other properties of a similar style and size, and find out what homes that have sold for. Find out what buyers are looking for in your area and try and tailor your property accordingly. If you are selling a modern apartment, you are going to need to appeal to the working couple. If it's a family home, then you need to create good family space that people will find appealing for their circumstances.
An estate agent will also guide you on how long your property will take to sell and for how much in its current state. They will also be able to tell you how long your property might take to sell, the perceived condition and your target market. Once you are aware of your target market, you can gear your sale to that.
In order to get your home up to the standard required, you may need to carry out DIY, and it's important that you take steps to make this cost effective as possible.
KitchenSMART offer low cost, fast, professional kitchen makeovers. David Ball from kitchenSMART says:
"If you are trying to sell your home, at KitchenSMART we believe that the best way to do this is to make sure your home looks as attractive as possible and in the best condition so people don't feel they have to spend money as soon as they move in. It's important to choose a kitchen that is good quality and well designed, well lighted and in a generic style that won't alienate people. Know your audience - if you are selling a modern apartment, go for a sleek modern look and for a family home go traditional. Bright colours will make the space seem larger and give it clean fresh look. If the kitchen is of good quality, then buyers perceive this to save them money when they move in as people can't live with a below par kitchen, after all it's the most important room in the home.
