Getting ready to spring forward into the hot real estate market once the snow melts?
Whether you’re buying or selling, these tips could help you spring ahead of your competition!
Spring means two things for certain in real estate: more buyers and more sellers.
Get ahead of your competition by preparing early so you stand out from the crowd.
These days, time is of the essence when it comes to both buying and selling real estate.
Buyers have to be ready to act when the perfect property becomes available, so get your finances pre-approved and pre-arranged as much as possible. Get your deposit and down payment sorted out. Be prepared to face some competition from other buyers and have a rough idea of how you could respond to that competition. Be prepared to get any purchase conditions met and completed as quickly as possible.
Sellers should make sure their property is shown in it’s best possible light right from the start. Give the house and yard a freshening up. Take care of all of the small jobs that you’ve been putting off – buyers will notice if they’re not complete and they may effect your sale price. Keep your house neat, clean and tidy and always be prepared for showing appointments.
If you have questions about buying or selling, it often helps to speak with an expert. Want to know which neighbourhoods best fit your budget? Trying to get an idea of properties in your price range? Not sure which home repairs or updates will have the biggest impact?
