Sellers: Are you prepared for the spring market? I have some tips to set you up for success if you’re selling this spring.
1. Know the market. It’s essential to work with the right real estate professionals and experts in the industry who know what’s happening in today’s market. Right now, we are starting to see inventory levels increase, meaning that the amount of competition that you as a seller will have is also increasing.
When that happens, we start to see a lot more competitive pricing and price reductions. Buyers are coming in and lowballing sellers, so it’s essential to partner up with the right real estate agent who will price your home correctly from the get-go and get your listing maximum exposure.
2. Get started early. With inventory levels increasing, it means more competition for you as a seller, which can lead to pricing wars. It is crucial and beneficial to get your home on the market sooner rather than later. The majority of homes will enter the market closer to the summer months, so jumping in now will allow you to beat your competition and sell your home faster and for a higher price.

3. Get your home improvement projects done. First impressions are key, and this will likely help you sell your house faster and for more money. Maintain and update your curb appeal by doing things like adding new mulch, planting flowers, and improving landscaping features. Fresh paint on the exterior as well as updating to neutral paint tones on the interior, such as grays and beiges, are easy updates buyers seek. Fix any broken appliances and service your heating and air conditioning unit. Heating and air units, next to the roof, are the most problematic issues we face when negotiating repairs.
