A Hot Market: Get Your Home Ready To Sell
Be On The Coast Real Estate Team
Hot! Hot! Hot! “These three words adequately describe the real estate market from Pensacola to Destin, Miramar Beach to 30A and beyond,” said Brian K. LoCicero, Luxury Realtor® at Be On The Coast Real Estate. In many instances, a hot market can mean a faster sale at or above asking price. Before you get ready to watch the money roll in, you’ll need to get your property ready to sell. A seller in a hot market has a better chance of selling a home “as-is” without having to make major updates. Discuss with your realtor whether you, as a seller, should make any significant updates or repairs to your property before listing it. Your realtor can evaluate comparable properties in your neighborhood. A seasoned realtor will also give you a priority list of things to fix or update, in order to list your home at the best and highest price point. Your realtor may recommend a home inspection before listing your property, to identify areas that need to be addressed prior to the first showing.

In a hot market, buyers want to move quickly and are driven by first impressions of the property and emotions. The best way to make someone fall in love with your house is to declutter it, interior and exterior, and then “stage” it. Giving the home a “wow” factor will distinguish it from the rest of the homes viewed and give your property an even better advantage over any other homes for sale in your area. Clean out closets for a more spacious, organized look and feel. Furniture surfaces should be knick knack free and personal photos put away, so the potential buyer can best picture their own items in the home.

Make sure you have all relevant property documentation to give to your realtor to share with potential buyers and the title company. Lastly, have a place to go. Hot markets mean quick sales and closings. Decide this before you list the property. Once offers come in on your property, you have greater bargaining power to use to accommodate special moving needs and timeframes. Don’t be afraid of negotiating. Your buyer is just as aware as you are of the limited options on the market. It doesn’t hurt to ask.
