5 Tips to Maximizing your Sale Price
- When selling a property first impressions count! More than 50% of houses are sold even before potential purchasers open your front door. So ensure the section and garden is tidy, have the lawns mowed and the paths and driveways clean.
- Street appeal can have a huge emotional impact and put a potential buyer in the right frame of mind to view your property. Ensure trees are trimmed back, fences and gates are washed down or even freshly painted, $500 spent here can add $5000 to the final sale price!
- Get a friend or neighbour to give you an honest opinion of the house and it’s presentation. Let them be your “potential purchaser”, quite often they will point out small things that you will over look. Little things like a new front door mat, some colourful plants around the entrance way, a quick coat of paint to the front step etc can influence a buyer’s perception of the property.
- Clean your property thoroughly inside and out. Remove clutter and excess furniture. Remember when selling your property it’s important to view it as if you were a buyer. It’s all about first impressions and perceived value, good property presentation will ensure you maximize your selling price.
- List your property on houses.co.nz. Houses.co.nz attracts up to 500,000 visitors per month from all over the world. International exposure is a significant factor in the rising prices of New Zealand houses.
