Reports and statistics continue to show that our local Mahtomedi Mn. real estate market is improving, you might be thinking about listing your home for sale this Spring!
Well we have good news for you… the Spring market is here! Despite the winter weather we’ve been experiencing, we are still seeing lots of activity on homes in many price ranges around the northeast metro area in the Twin Cities..
Before you list your Mahtomedi, Mn. home for sale, there are a few bits of homework that will help you position your home for sale when your listing goes active.
1. Look at your home from the road. Your curb appeal is the first opportunity to make an impression on potential buyers. As the snow melts, clean out those flower beds. Trim up the shrubs and add a pop of color to your entrance with a seasonal wreath or topiary. Make sure your front door looks welcoming, free of any chipping/peeling paint and that your windows are clean letting lots of light into your home.2. Stage your home. This doesn’t require a professional stager, although your home will stand out even more if you do use one, but take cues from home design magazines to get your home in showing shape. Neutralize your rooms – this includes paint colors, furniture placement and personal possessions. By neutralizing your home, you are allowing the buyers to envision themselves living in your home. They’ll have an easier time seeing their furniture, their family photos and their kids growing up in your home if they don’t have to look past your specific design elements.
3. Know where your house stands. This goes from the roof to the windows and all the mechanicals. The easiest way to know how things are working is to have a home inspection. This gives you the opportunity to find any defects that your home may have and fix them before you get into a contract and are negotiating with a potential buyer. You can also offer a copy of the home inspection to buyers to eliminate any fears they may have about writing an offer on your home.
