Spring into Success: Prepare your home for sale this spring

The spring selling season is in full swing and Perth property buyers are ready, are you? Are you preparing your home for sale but don't know where to start? Don't worry, you have come to the right place!

We have compiled a few of our top considerations to enable you to prepare your property for sale, before hitting the market.

 

 

Declutter Like a Pro
Before you list your home this spring, start by decluttering every room. Clear countertops, shelves, and closets. A clean slate attracts buyers and enables them to see the home rather than your belongings!
De-cluttering will essentially make your home appear bigger and more appealing to prospective buyers.

 

 Freshen Up Your Space
Give your home a fresh look! A coat of neutral paint can work wonders.
Focus on high-traffic areas like the living room and kitchen.

 

Curb Appeal Matters
First impressions do matter, so don't forget about the outside of your home! Boost your home's curb appeal by pressure cleaning the driveway and path, planting colourful flowers, mowing the lawn, and sprucing up the entrance.
Step back from your home or better yet, go to the curb and look at your home from a prospective buyers point of view - what stands out, needs attention or improvement?⠀

 

Repair & Maintenance
Fix those small issues that have been bothering you. Leaky taps, squeaky doors, or loose handles – buyers notice!

 

Stage for Success
Stage your home to highlight its best features. Remove personal items, add fresh flowers, and arrange furniture to create an inviting atmosphere. This will allow the buyers to imagine themselves living in the home, with their own personal touches.⠀

 

 

Brighten with Lighting
Good lighting can make your home feel warm and welcoming. When preparing for a home open, set the mood in each room by turning the lights on and opening the curtains and blinds for natural light. Even consider swapping out old bulbs for brighter ones. Dark rooms can make the room appear small and uninviting, so let the light in!

 

Professional Photography
Capture your home's beauty with professional photos. High-quality images attract more online views and potential buyers.

 

Set the Right Price
Engage in the services of an experienced real estate agent to set a competitive price. A well-priced home in spring can lead to a quick sale. A win-win for Sellers and Buyers alike!

 

Follow these steps, and you'll attract eager buyers. Best of luck on your selling journey!
