Selling your real estate in January has a number of key benefits, which interestingly most people don't immediately realise...
For one, buyers are typically more serious during this time of year and are actually more likely to make an offer on a property. Additionally, sellers tend to be highly motivated to sell during this time as they're trying to take advantage of the post-holiday market. Lastly, because there are typically fewer houses on the market during this time, your property is more likely to stand out to potential buyers.
So although most people wait until spring to sell their homes, as you can already see there are actually plenty of benefits to selling in winter, especially in January, so we'll explore several tips for taking advantage of this time of the year so you can sell your home quickly, and potentially for even more money too!
First Impressions Are Everything.
The first thing of course is to pay attention to your potential buyers' first impressions, in the sense of what they initially see when arriving at your property - its garden areas, painted surfaces, everything being generally tidy outside. So, take the time yourself, or hire a property management service to ensure your property is very presentable to anyone viewing.
Invest In Your Property.
Next on your list is making sure the interior of your property is up to spec & in line with what potential buyers are currently looking for in the market, so if something obviously needs work, fix it up, and if you have a high degree of confidence that a specific remodel in some way is an 'in demand' feature right now, then by all means take the decision to make that calculated investment to best ensure you can make your property more marketable to buyers.
Why Staging Can Help You Sell Faster, And For More Money.
This next point isn't for everyone, but can help you sell your property faster, and potentially at a higher price point too - it's called "staging" where all personal items are removed, and interior design skills are applied to flatter the property so to speak, dressing it up in sense, to create an emotional mood of sorts with the intention of making the property more appealing to a larger body of potential buyers.
This isn't to be confused with decorating, as staging requires a special eye for design & a keen understanding of psychology that provides the staging company with the means to guide potential buyers in seeing themselves in the home, imagining themselves living there, in a way that creates a degree of emotional pull towards considering making an offer on the property - it's an art form, really!
