Here are 8 questions that every homeowner needs to ask themselves before selling…
- What is your reason for selling?
Are you looking to move out of state? Need to downsize or upsize? Wanting to invest in a new property?
- How much is the home worth?
You might want to use Zillow, but don’t. Get an opinion from a professional. Zillow is typically at least 10% to 20% off on its estimates.
- What is your ideal timeline for selling?
Are you looking to sell within the next few months or wanting to wait a little longer?
- How much are you willing to spend on pre-sale repairs/updates?
It is important to make sure your home is in tip-top shape before listing it. This is the only way to get top dollar for your home.
- What sort of real estate market are we in?
A buyers’ market, a sellers’ market or a balanced market? This will help with understanding how to best price the home.
- Are you prepared to show your home at any time?
You never know when a buyer might want to see a home. It is important to be able to accommodate them, even if it is on very short notice.
- Have you considered all of the costs of selling?
There are a lot of costs that come with selling a home, such as real estate agent fees, home staging, closing costs, etc. Make sure these have all been considered all when coming up with your asking price.
- Have you found your next home?
If not, is there a plan in place for where you will go once the home is sold?
