- How do I prepare my home for sale?
To prepare your home for sale:
- Declutter and deep clean every room
- Make minor repairs (leaky faucets, chipped paint)
- Boost curb appeal with landscaping
- Stage your home to highlight its best features
- Get a pre-listing inspection to avoid surprises
- What’s the best time to sell a house?
Spring and early summer are typically the best times to sell, as buyer demand is high. However, market conditions and local trends can also influence timing. A real estate agent can help you assess the best window for your area.
- How is my home’s listing price determined?
Your listing price is based on:
- Recent sales of similar homes (comps)
- Current market trends
- Location and neighborhood desirability
- Home condition and upgrades
- Appraisal value
- What costs should I expect when selling my home?
Typical costs include:
- Agent commissions (usually 3–6%)
- Closing costs (1–3%)
- Repairs or staging expenses
- Transfer taxes or fees
- Mortgage payoff balance
- How long does it take to sell a home?
On average, homes sell within 30–90 days, depending on:
- Market conditions
- Pricing strategy
- Property location and condition
- Marketing efforts
- Should I make renovations before selling?
Minor upgrades like fresh paint, lighting, and landscaping can boost appeal. Major renovations may not yield a full return. Consult a real estate professional to decide which improvements are worth it.
- What happens after I accept an offer?
Once you accept an offer:
- The buyer conducts inspections
- You negotiate repairs or credits
- The buyer secures financing
- You sign closing documents
- Ownership transfers and you receive payment
- Can I sell my home without a real estate agent?
