3 Ways To Make Your Home More Appealing To Buyers

Are you struggling to sell your home and not sure why? If so, it will help to do the following 3 things to make it more appealing to buyers. 

Offer A Home Warranty

One reason that buyers may be cautious about making an offer is due to it being a bit old. You may have aging appliances or features of the home that are on the verge of breaking down. You can make a buyer feel more at ease with buying your home by offering a home warranty.

A home warranty will cover is major appliances or problems come up in the home that require a professional to repair or replace the item. For example, if you have an old clothes dryer that stops producing heat, a home warranty would pay for replacing or repairing the dryer. If the air conditioner doesn't work when it's fired up for the first time in the spring by the new owners, a home warranty will cover the cost of having the unit repaired.

Price Your Home Competitively

Work closely with your real estate agent to ensure that your home is priced to sell rather than make a huge profit. If the home has been sitting on the real estate market for several months, it is possible that it is priced too high for a buyer to make an offer at list price. If your real estate agent is able to look at the prices of similar homes that have recently sold, they'll get a better idea of what a fair price is for a home like yours. Drop the price a few thousand dollars than a comparative price and you may find yourself with sudden interest in the house. 

Stage Your Home To Sell

It can be difficult to sell a home when you're living in it, but you must put some thought into staging the home with the buyer in mind. Consider renting a storage unit to keep a bunch of the clutter in your home so that it looks bigger to buyers. Simply getting rid of extra furniture is going to make the space look open and like it has plenty of room while keeping items in the house will cause it to look cluttered.
