Selling a home isn’t something that many of us do that frequently, so it’s understandable that a lot of people have a number of questions about the selling process. Having your questions answered before you put your property on the market will help put your mind at ease and make your selling journey a little bit easier.

When should I sell my home?

A lot of people are under the impression that there are particular seasons that are better to sell in, but this may not be a very important factor. Every area and every property is different and there are a number of variables that can influence supply and demand in an area. It is best to discuss these with your real estate agent to see if there is a particular time of year they recommend selling base on your individual circumstances. In general though, the best time to sell shouldn’t be influenced by external factors but by when it’s the right time for you.

What is my home worth?

It’s hard to predict exactly what your property will sell for but there are ways to get a good estimate. Take a look at recent sale prices of similar properties in your area to get a general idea of what your property could be worth. Keep in mind that there are a number of things that influence property prices and even identical properties in the same street can sell for different prices because of different buyers around at the time, or slight property variations such as views of house features.

How can I improve my selling price?

There are a number of ways to help attract a higher selling price. One of the easiest ways is to make sure that your property presents well at sale time. It’s also worth taking your time finding the right real estate agent. Having a skilled and knowledgeable real estate agent by your side could help you attract a significantly higher sale price than someone who doesn’t understand the area well.

What can I do to prepare my property for sale?

You only get one chance to make a good first impression so make sure it’s a good one. Before putting your property on the market take the time to clean up, de-clutter and possibly give your property a fresh coat of paint. You may like to approach an agent before preparing your property to help give you tips and advice that will help your property look its best.
