Here are four tips to help your home sell for even more in this hot market.

If you’re a homeowner looking to make a move, this couldn’t be a better market for you. Low inventory is driving up competition and home prices. Homes are selling quickly, too. In Northern Virginia, a home only spends an average of 15 days on the market. Here are four tips to help you maximize your sale price in this hot market:

1. Make the buyers feel at home. Take the time to declutter and remove personal items. A neutral, tidy home allows buyers to imagine themselves living there.

2. Keep it clean. After you declutter, make sure the home is maintained while it’s on the market. Make the beds, do the dishes, and limit buyer distractions while the home is on the market.

“Work with a trusted professional to determine the best price for your home.”

3. Make sure the home is accessible. You want to cater to buyers whenever you can.

4. Price it right. Even in a hot market, pricing is important. Pricing too high could be detrimental to its sale, causing it to sit on the market. I recommend working with a trusted real estate professional to determine the best list price for your home.

If you’d like to take advantage of this market or have any other real estate-related questions, don’t hesitate to reach out via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
