How To Get Your Home Ready for Market

Here’s why we don’t believe the housing market is going to crash again.

If you’re preparing to go on the market, one of the biggest things to think about is how your home looks from the outside — the curb appeal. You want the buyer’s first impression to be the best impression possible. Today we’ll share a few tips to make sure buyers are interested in your home even on the walk up to the door.

A good place to start is the three p’s: fresh paint, pressure wash, and new plants. People want to be comfortable walking into a stranger’s house, and all three of these are a great way to achieve that.

Don’t underestimate what fresh paint can do for your curb appeal. It’s always a good idea to add some fresh paint to any part of the front of your house, but especially the front door. We’ve seen a lot of reports that putting a new front door on the property can be one of the biggest dollar-for-dollar returns when renovating your house. It’s the very first thing buyers are going to touch going into your home.

“People want to be comfortable walking into a stranger’s house.”

In the past, we’ve been out showing properties that have some trash or debris lying around. The buyers might get defensive and think you’re not taking care of the house. A pressure wash can also clean up the outside of your home and keep the buyer engaged.

You want to keep the walk up to your house nice and clean. Having some fresh mulch and some new plants out front really lets people know that you care about your house.

Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to get your home up on the market, but a lot of times it’s simpler than you might think. If you have any questions, are looking for some more tips, or just want to go over what it’ll take to get your house sold, feel free to reach out to any of us here at the Ramsey Rhoads Group; we’d love to help you.
