Are you sabotaging your home sale?

Are you sabotaging your home sale? The last reason is the most common.

I don’t know what you’re hearing, but the days of throwing a sign in the yard and seeing multiple, above-asking price offers is coming to an end here in the Bitterroot Valley.

Unfortunately, some sellers haven’t gotten the memo — and are sabotaging their home sale without even knowing it. Here’s how:

1) Neglecting home repairs - that creaky floorboard, leaky faucet, or discolored ceiling may seem minor, but buyers will notice, and it could cause you to leave a pile of cash on the table.

2) Failing to declutter and stage - cluttered spaces and personal items can make it difficult for buyers to envision themselves in your home. (And P.S. - you can absolutely stage your home with furniture and items you already own.)

3) Pricing too high - you want top dollar for your home, but pricing it too high can cause it to sit on the market for longer than it should — and ultimately sell for less.

Don’t let the shifting market catch you by surprise this spring. If you’re thinking of selling, find an experienced agent who can guide you to top dollar for your home.
