4 House Selling Tips For a Slow Market
The real estate market has slowed down in several areas across the country. But does that mean you are doomed to let your house sit on the market for weeks or months?Heck, no!
These 4 house selling tips will help make your home more appealing to buyers and get your home sold faster.

Tip #1: Spruce up your curb appeal

As the saying goes, "you never get a second chance to make a first impression." Curb appeal is one of the frequently forgotten house selling tips that will make buyers remember your house.

Make your lawn and sidewalk neat and attractive by mowing regularly, pulling weeds, and raking leaves. Potted plants or flowers can also add a nice touch to make your home look more inviting.

Tip #2: Decrease the clutter, increase the space

Buyers like homes that look spacious, clean and organized. Rent a storage unit and get rid of any excess clutter that you can live without while you are selling your home. Buyers should be able to see your countertops and baseboards. Be sure to take down any personal photos. You want buyers to imagine themselves living in your house, not imagine you living in your house.

Tip #3: Appeal to the masses

Even if you like dark purple paint in your master bedroom, most buyers will be turned off by your design choice. Paint rooms with neutral, light colors. This will make you house look larger and brighter and appeal to more people.

Tip #4: Make easy repairs

You might not notice the sticky door handle anymore, but a prospective buyer sure will. Check your home for any loose or sticky doorknobs or windows. All light fixtures should have working, high-watt bulbs that make your rooms look brighter.

These easy house selling tips should help get your home noticed even in a slow market. Cheap and easy home repairs like these can get you a large return on your investment.
