Need to sell your home fast? With a glut of unsold homes on the market and foreclosures on the rise, you may be feeling discouraged. But there’s no reason your property needs to sit unsold for months.
Here are five ways to expedite the process and sell your home quickly.
- Price it right
- Make it inviting
- Get an inspector
- Fill your listing with photos
- Throw in a little something extra
Some other ideas: Consider replacing drafty windows with ones that are energy-efficient. If you installed a 40-inch plasma TV with a surround-sound stereo system in the living room, offer to include it with the house. Chances are you won’t be able to take it with you anyway. If you’re selling a second home on the water, throw in the jet-ski and dock rights. If you pad the asking price by just a couple of thousand dollars, you’ll still come out ahead, says Corbett.
