Here are five quick tips to get your Michigan home ready to sell. Home Buyers now days want to move in plug in the TV and relax on the couch. Home buyers do not want to paint, remove wallpaper, redo the house. Buyers want the home "move in ready".
De-personalize - De- personalizing is probably one of the easiest and cheapest task when getting your home ready to sell. Take down your personal and family pictures. If you have collections put them away. Salt and Pepper collections, Plate collections, doll collections, and clown collections that some people accumulate. Try not to define the new buyer. Put your collection away. You are trying to make your Plymouth MI home appeal to the greatest number of buyers by de-personalizing your home. Some buyers just can not visualize themselves in your home if your stuff turns them off or they get caught up in looking at your stuff. You want them to look at your house, not the "stuff". If you are country themed or ultra modern loosen up the them. By appealing a larger number of home buyers you are more likely to sell your home quicker. The buyer may not like country.
De-clutter - The rule I like my Metro Detroit sellers to live by is only have 2-3 items on top of any shelf or counter top. Keep it simple. Get all the knick knacks off the shelves, counter tops, refrigerator. Open up the rooms by getting rid of a few pieces of furniture. Most rooms should only have 3-4 pieces of furniture in them. Organize and straighten up your home. Store all your excess stuff at a storage locker or a friends house. We want your Plymouth home to appear open and spacious.
De-ordorize - Want to kill your sale and keep your home on the market a long time? Let it smell. Nothing kills a home sale quicker than bad smells. Pet odors, fishy smells, mildew smell, old person smell, curry, cigar or cigarette smoke kill home deals. Buyers will not stay in your house long if it smells. More homes are crossed off the list because of the home smelling. Smoke outside, repaint to get rid of the smell. Find the source of the odor and eliminate it. Some smells that offend Plymouth home buyers. You may not smell it but may offend a buyer. Buy a cinnamon, or chocolate chip cookie candle and burn it before showings.
Neutralize your Plymouth home - Get rid of all the wall paper especially flowered or vegetable wallpaper. Repaint that purple wall. Tear up that patterned carpeting or shag carpeting. Again you want the Plymouth home for sale to be move in ready. Most Southeastern Michigan home buyers do not want to have to do anything. A neutral color will appeal to a greater number of buyers than that dark red wall.
Update - Updated homes appeal to home buyers - Updated homes sell quicker. So if you are in your Plymouth home and want to update the kitchen or bathroom. Do it. Enjoy the updates while you live there. It will help you sell your Plymouth home quicker and for more money if the kitchens and bathrooms are updated. These are the top two updates that sell a home and you get a good return out of . Just do not go overboard and put a ton of money into the updates. You will not get your money back out of a house. If you put a $40,000 kitchen into a $150,000 house buyers are not going to distinguish the value of those high end cabinets. This is a general rule: Most updates increase the value of the home. Sure you do not get it all the money back but it helps sell the house. An updated kitchen will sell twice as fast as a 30 year old kitchen.
These home selling tips will help you sell your home quicker. These tips have helped my clients get top dollar for their homes. My clients have sold their Metro Detroit homes for more money than some of their neighbors getting the best price in the neighborhood because they took the time to prepare and stage their home for sale. I think these tips will work for you too.
