Do You Know The Best Time Of The Year For Home Selling ?

When getting ready for home selling, preparation is the key to success. It can be the difference between achieving an average price to getting a great price. But it does not have to be a chore.

Timing

Buyers for good quality homes can be found all year round. The issue of timing is not as critical today as it was in the past. Note; a few very important timing tips you should consider when selling a home.

If your property is located in a beachside suburb research indicates that Spring and Summer months are the best time to sell. For city sellers, vacation periods such as Christmas, mid December to beginning of January should be avoided. In tourist destinations, this same period can be the best time for home selling.

Presentation

The process, or indeed art, of presenting your home is an important one to master. Or get a specialist in to help. To achieve the highest possible price it is crucial you achieve the best possible presentation. This is similar to detailing a car before you sell it.

The emotional appeal required to arouse prospects into buying is unlikely to be achieved by a poorly presented house. And a neglected building sends out 'warning signals' to prospective buyers.

Do what ever it takes to have your house looking immaculate come inspection day. Some of the turn offs for buyers include:
- Cracked glass
- Animal odours in the house
- Evidence of damp or moisture in the walls
- Doors, windows or gates that stick
- Too much furniture or personal belongings cluttering the space
- Tobacco or pungent food odours
- Stained carpet

To improve your home's presentation, seek outside assistance, as many of these problems can be fixed quickly for very little expense.

If the house is vacant, renting furniture for the sale period is highly recommended. An average cost to furnish a three bedroom house for six weeks is approximately $4,000-$6,000 - a sound investment that will increase your home's sale price.

Home Selling Preparation Checklist

1. Have your house cleaned and detailed professionally
2. Spending a few hundred dollars sprucing it up will increase the saleability and probably increase the sale price.
3. A 'property stylist' can enhance your homes appearance and appeal. This helps in securing a higher sale price.
4. Ensure you get a pest inspection and building report. - This allows you to have necessary repair work done prior to sale. A 100% clear report can be used as a selling feature.
5. The Contract for Sale should be prepared by your lawyer or conveyancer with all the essential terms and conditions.
6. It is advisable to have a survey of the land and buildings available
7. Make a list of everything that will be included in the purchase price. These include floor coverings, light fittings, window treatments.

Whatever your motive for home selling, the process can either be stress free and lucrative or tense and disappointing. Your choice. Hopefully these tips and checklist will assist you in stress free home selling.
