In recent years, selling a property has been a breeze. As long as the structure was in any kind of decent shape, you could expect offers to rain down when it hit the market.
Sometimes, you would close the sale before the property ever hit the market! To say it was a sellers market is a slight understatement.
As was inevitable, the real estate market has cooled off a bit. From a historical perspective, it is still red hot, although not as hot as the last few years. As a seller, this means you need to start focusing on the fundamentals of selling your home. The following tips should get you focused.
Purchasing a property is an emotional decision. To this end, you need to position yours to captivate potential buyers. In this case, this means giving it a makeover. For instance, you should:
Â
Clean up and redecorate your yard 
Cleaning up and redesigning your yard is one of the best ways to add value to your property without breaking the bank. You do not have to overly spend on this as you can simply clear the grass, get rid of dying plants, repaint flower pots and fences, and purchase inexpensive plants and decor from your nearest department store to give the place a new attractive look.
Â
Â
Ensure that your roof is clean and fixed 
A visibly faulty roof that needs repair can negatively impact the value of your home. For example, if a buyer notices a leak on the roof or some other form of damage, he or she can take advantage of such defects to negotiate for the property at a lower rate than expected.
Meanwhile, replacing a damaged roof can make your home more attractive to potential buyers. This is partly because your roof is one of the first things buyers notice when they visit your property for inspection. So having a clean, leak proof roof can potentially add value to the overall cost of your property.
Â
Consider repainting before sale
Repainting your property before a sale can dramatically increase the value of the property. The crisp appearance of new, neutral paint can raise your property value and improve the appeal of your home to a variety of buyers.Â
A quality paint job might convince potential buyers that you take pride in your home and that it will serve them well for years to come. If you manage to make a sale, this can result in a fantastic ROI.
Â
Consider redesigning the interior of the property
Many sellers believe that interior design is an unnecessary expense. Why spend money redecorating the property when you intend to sell it off any way? some would say.
This way of thinking can at first appear logical, but putting your house on the market without at least making some minor interior design changes will drastically hurt your prospects of finding a buyer and reduce your ultimate gain.
Redesigning your home for sale does not have to be expensive, as a minimalist, inexpensive design can make a big difference.
Furthermore, since you are properly not selling a brand new house, most prospective buyers would be coming for inspection with the expectation that there would be some signs of wear and tear in the property.
You would be beating their expectations if the property has undergone a reasonable level of redesign. This would in-turn ensure that you have a stronger and better bargaining power for the home.
Spending the effort to make improvements can result in additional offers. With the help of these guidelines, you may avoid making typical decorating blunders.
Â
Employ the services of a professional photographer and videographer
Your property can go viral online if the photos and videos used to promote its sale are perceived as top-notch by potential buyers. Professional visuals can make your home appear heavenly, drawing more potential to the property.
Expenses on real estate photography and video should be seen as an asset instead of a liability, as having high quality visuals is just as crucial as any other suggestion made in this article.
And finally, list your home via a property agent or by yourself online via this website, propertydome.com, and on other major real estate sites in Nigeria. Today, a large number of homebuyers use the internet to search for their ideal home. You are guaranteed to get messages and calls if your real estate is listed.
All of the aforementioned ultimately come down to a single central concept. If you were out looking for a property, what would you consider? Create a list, then examine your real estate with a focus on the items on the list.
