Home value has increased more and more in the last few years. In 2023, the median home value in the United States is $436,800. That is over $100,000 more than what the median value was three years ago to put that in perspective.
If you are considering listing a property for sale, you are likely going to want to work with a real estate agent to get the maximum value for it.
How do you create the best real estate listings for your property? These are some of our biggest tips.
Have Quality Photos
One of the biggest tips for trying to sell real estate property is to make sure that you have quality photos of the property. To do this, it is highly recommended to hire a professional photographer.
Understand that this is going to be an expense in the short term. However, in the long term, you will see results.
That is because properties that have photos taken by a professional photographer tend to sell 32% faster compared to those that do not. If you have aerial photos of your property, this increases to 68% faster.
People want to imagine themselves living in that home. Make it look as presentable as possible by having the best possible photos out there.
Clear the Clutter
Going off of the above, you are going to have to show potential buyers what the inside of your home looks like. If you are going to do that, the last thing that buyers want to see is your dirty laundry, children's toys, or trash scattered all over the floor.
You want to have as clear of an environment as possible before you start showing people the inside of your home. That can mean clearing all of that stuff out of the room and even rearranging furniture so that it has a more open concept.
Clearing your house of clutter allows people to imagine what it is like to live inside your home.
Do Minor Repairs
Finally, check on your house and see if there is any minor damage on the inside or outside of your home. Most buyers are going to want a home that is completely ready to move in without any issues.
Understandably, there will be some issues that require major renovation such as an outdated kitchen or a hole in your roof. However, you can fix minor issues before potential buyers see your home such as a small hole in the wall, loose faucet, etc. Doing this could help increase your property value.
List Your Property for Sale
These are three things that can help increase the value of your property for sale. You are going to want to make sure that you have professional photos of your property, clear the house of all clutter, and conduct any minor repairs possible to increase your home's value.
