As we approach the end of the year, we look towards the new year and begin to imagine what the future will look like.
If you have been thinking of selling and know that the time has come for you to place your property on the market in the new year, you may be facing a long list of 'to-dos' in order to get your property ready for sale.
While it is no question that a full home renovation would increase the value of your property, we’re here to provide you with the top 3 'must-dos' when deciding what changes to make prior to placing your property on the market for sale to maximise profit.
1. Research
One of the most important metrics we try to achieve in order to maximise profit when selling is 'knowing your market'. At Gotham Property, we can help you better understand your suburb, potential buyers and ultimately, when is the right time to sell as our knowledge and experience ensures that your property gets to sold for maximum price.
2. Focus
When you’re renovating to sell, it is crucial to make the changes that leave potential buyers feeling as though the house is as close to faultless. When increasing the profitability of your home, you want a buyer to walk through with the reassurance that they could move in immediately without having to reach further into their pockets. So, when deciding what to fix within the home, make sure you focus firstly on the areas of the home that are lacking and/or need some tender loving care. A few examples of low cost items, that would give a great first impression, are: paint, carpet, appliances and garden.
3. Style
Whether you hire a professional or choose to do it yourself, styling a home prior to placing it on the market for sale is a 'must-do' in order to maximise price. Buyers want to imagine themselves living in the property that they’re looking to purchase. The use of furniture and interiors ensures that a sense of warmth and a homely atmosphere is created which, attracts enthused buyers. At the end of the day, there is a difference in ‘styling to live in’ and ‘styling to sell’, where we ultimately want your buyer paying more for your property.
