There are however some things you can do that will help your home appeal to the widest audience. Take a look at some of our favourite handy tips below.
- Ensure your home has street appeal by keeping your lawns mown and gardens tidy
- Keep your home clean with all clutter cleared as clutter can make your home feel smaller
- Try to keep your personal style toned down and keep to a style that will appeal to the widest range of people – this can be achieved by utilising neutral colours
- Be aware of pet odours. If you have pets living in your home you may want to make sure your carpets and any rugs have been well vacuumed or even steam cleaned if possible
- Think about outdoor living areas. With kiwis keen on an indoor/outdoor flow, it is important to highlight any favourable outdoor features and place outdoor furniture strategically to show the lifestyle people could have if they owned your house
- Finish your renovations. Buyers will see any unfinished work as work they will have to do themselves or pay to have finish – they will factor this into any offer they may make
- Consider staging your house for sale. Professional home stagers have experience showcasing houses in their best light and are now considered an effective marketing tool by both sellers and real estate agents
- Finally, it can also be handy to know your competition before your house goes on the market by checking out open homes in your area. You may get some ideas on how to present your house or discover features of your house that you can ‘play up’ to give you the edge
