Four simple things homeowners can do to prepare their homes for sale.
When it comes to getting their homes market-ready, today’s sellers can skirt around some of the bigger projects, meaning that the process doesn’t have to take as long. In the past year, more than 50% of homeowners took less than a month to prepare their properties. Around 20% of them were able to get their homes ready in two weeks. How did they make that happen? Here are a few things you should keep in mind before you sell:
1. Staging isn’t as important anymore. If you’re planning to sell in today’s market, you can do a minimal amount of work to get your home ready.
2. Spruce up your curb appeal. People won’t want to look at the inside of your home if they don’t like how it looks on the outside. Spend a little time improving your landscaping so that it looks neat, clean, and inviting.

3. Handle general maintenance items. If your roof is leaking or your HVAC
system doesn’t run properly, for example, you could still sell your house even
with those problems, but you won’t make nearly as much money as you could
by taking care of those issues before selling.
4. Take care of minor cosmetic issues. Where needed, take care of some
of the smaller superficial issues like touching up your home’s paint and cleaning
up stained carpet or flooring.
