Selling your home in Vancouver isn’t quite as simple as putting up a “for sale” sign and waiting for buyers to inquire. You will have to spare time to talk to your agent. Express how you want to sell and work on a plan for listing, showing, and selling your property. And then you will have to attend the all-important open homes.
Since the fall real estate market has started to pick up, we’ll give you some tips on how you can boost your home’s value when you put it on the market:
- Create space
Maximization of spaces using different methods can help increase your house’s value. By using mirrors or glass, you are creating the illusion that your rooms are bigger.
- Address anything that may raise doubt
A thing you should do before you start opening your house to buyers is to check for obvious defects like damaged fences and mailboxes. The devil is in the detail. Small but obvious factors like these can give the prospect buyer the impression that the house was not properly taken care of. They may also make the buyers think that there are bigger, costlier problems in your property.
- Paint your wall colors to a neutral tone
If you’re putting your property up for sale eventually, think of your prospective buyer. They want to be able to reflect themselves into the property they want to buy, and a neutrally colored wall can do just that.
- Let there be light.
Light can make or break a mood, brokers say. Prospective real estate buyers like properly lit spaces.
- Check the roof
Yes, roof damage normally slips through a typical home inspection. This is because a many home inspectors rarely go onto the roof to check on its condition. On most occasions, inspectors will just take note of a torn or missing shingle and some popping nails. However, these small damages may signify an actual problem in your roofing system. To guarantee that you are selling a house with a damage-free roof, hire a licensed specialist for residential roofing in Vancouver and get a full, thorough assessment.
