it’s a great time to sell a home in San Diego.
In order to have an informed conversation with your realtor, it’s helpful if you have a clear sense of your finances and what you hope to gain from the sale. For example, you can ask yourself questions like what’s most important: a higher price or a quicker sale? Your realtor can help you find ways to maximize both, but it can help to have thought through your goals ahead of time so your realtor is working with the most comprehensive information about your personal situation as possible.
It may not surprise you to learn that potential buyers want to be able to picture themselves in the homes they are viewing before they make the purchase. This means that as a seller, it’s usually best to keep the living areas neutral and impersonal as you can during the showings.
A few quick and easy ways to do this are by removing personal photos from the walls and the ones in frames around the house, taking down any bold artwork that may appear distracting, tidying up decor or belongings that may seem cluttered, and storing away pet products. Balancing out your space by keeping it closer to a blank canvas will attract the most buyers because they will focus on the home itself rather than what’s personal to you and your family.
