Harbour Ridge is presently surrounded by new home construction. Although these new communities do not offer the lifestyle and amenities that are available at Harbour Ridge, it is important for home sellers to investigate the trends in new homes and determine what to do to make your home appeal to all buyers.
It is wise to visit new communities in your price range because it can give you ideas about how to position your home and price it appropriately. It is always crucial to be realistic about the competition.
Here are four things to consider when viewing model homes and comparing them to your home:
Property condition. A model home in a new development will be pristine with fresh paint and the assistance of an expert interior designer. You can get ideas regarding the latest decorating trends and ways to maximize the best features of your home and minimize the less appealing ones. Beware of overspending when you begin to improve your home for sale, but do consider painting in the new neutral tones if you presently have bright colored walls or wallpaper.
Put yourself in the buyer’s frame of mind. Many model homes have set the dining room table, which gives a positive visual to a prospect. It is important, however, to know that when buyers look at homes, they want to visualize how they will live in it, not how you are currently living there. This means that you need to put the breakfast dishes away, make the beds and assure that towels are neatly hung. Remove any personal items and eliminate clutter.
Look at curb appeal. Model homes typically have new landscaping and freshly painted house trim. Assure your bushes and trees are neat and trimmed; and if needed, paint your front door and replace its hardware for a more modern look.
Check out the finances. Builders often offer incentives to buyers. If you feel your home is dated, offer some sort of concession. Your Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty on-site agent will be able to offer you suggestions regarding this as well as provide you with inexpensive improvements you can make to your home to make it more marketable.
