The Answers To Getting the Edge On Selling Your Home In 2021
Are you thinking about selling your home? Are you wondering how to go about it? Below are the top 6 answers to Getting the Edge On Selling Your Home in 2021!
It’s a matter of fact that we live in a new era in the real estate market. With great resources available; from engaging a qualified Realtor to help you through the ocean of information now at your fingertips. It can seem a daunting process at the onset. With a new generation of home buyers who also have access to these same resources, our approach to selling your home has to be well thought out and a unique strategy tailored to your specific property. Homebuyers today have very particular likes and dislikes that can result in a quick sale at your price or can be passed on and sit on the market too long.
Let’s look at the top 6 tips that can lead to a successful sale!
- Call us and we will handle the other 5! All kidding aside, priority #1 is partnering with a trusted and qualified realtor. It’s OK to interview Realtors. We welcome interviews. Find out what approaches they use to help get your price. No doubt we do this for a living, but to get the most for your property it is paramount that partnering with an agency and agent who understand the market, understands your property, the demographics, and how best to promote it is key to getting the edge on selling your home.
- Millennials – this generation is growing up! It might be surprising that millennials, who are in their mid-20’s to mid 30’s make up 43% of home buyers taking out a mortgage this year! According to a source, millennials are the largest purchasing group in the country right now. About 57% of home buyers under the age of 36 bought homes in the suburbs. Nashville Tennessee is the perfect scenario with beautiful suburbs within a half-hour commute to downtown. This is in comparison to 15% of the same age group purchasing urban condos. Again, Nashville has had a boom of new condominiums rise within walking distance of downtown proper. Another trend with millennials is the preference for a home that meets but does not exceed their space requirements. However, we would still play up how spacious your place feels by touting an open floor plan (if you have one) or knocking down a wall or two if it’s within your pre-home-sale budget. Millennials are also into efficiencies such as storm windows, insulated water heaters, and solar power.

- Baby Boomers – let’s not assume that baby boomers are retired from the housing market. The population of Americans aging 65 and older is expected to double from 46 million in 2016 to more than 98 million by 2060. According to AARP, nearly 90% of seniors prefer staying home as they grow older. What does this mean for you? You can draw these buyers in by making renovations to your home that incorporate universal design features making it more accessible regardless of the buyers’ age or disability. Here are some renovations that help home owners age in place.
- Marketing – we invest our funds when marketing your home for sale. In recent years, video or virtual tours were the fad, but the quality of those were not the best. Today, modern photography methods provide spectacular “moving” stills that combined with drone photography of the home and property exteriors are supremely effective in giving potential buyers that first look and feel at your home as a place to live and enjoy life. Be sure to ask us about this service before you sign the contract.
- Smart Home Features – these days, smart home features are more the standard. Keep in mind if you plan to implement this technology that home buyers may come with their own smart gadgets. In getting the edge on selling your home, you will want to make sure anything you put in is broadly compatible with the leading manufacturers of these technologies. According to a source, “Most home buyers have already invested in personal products built on one platform or another—Amazon Echo, Google Home, or Apple HomePod—and it is important that your system support these options in order to stay attractive to the largest potential buyer pool possible.”
- Pre-Inspection – definitely not last or least in terms of importance. Homebuyers are looking for turn-key homes, move-in ready with no known or potential problems. Understandably, people just want to be able to move right in, worry-free. With a home pre-inspection, you can reassure potential buyers that the house is in good condition, and will give you the owner/seller the opportunity to make repairs before placing your home on the market. It minimizes the distraction of buyers if they are worried about how the house has been taken care of. Keep in mind, the buyer and often Bankers will still want to acquire their own inspection. But by having your own done, you will avoid any surprise issues that may arise as part of the buyers inspection being performed. It often also helps the offers get to your asking price.
