Here are 8 questions that every homeowner needs to ask themselves before selling…
1. What is your reason for selling?
Are you looking to move out of state? Need to downsize or upsize? Wanting to invest in a new property?
2. How much is the home worth?
Online estimates can miss by a wide margin for an individual home. A comparative market analysis or an appraisal is more reliable. See what your house is really worth.
3. What is your ideal timeline for selling?
Are you looking to sell within the next few months or wanting to wait a little longer? See the best time of year to sell in Orlando.
4. How much are you willing to spend on pre-sale repairs/updates?
Repairs can raise a listing price, but they cost time and money. Compare that with selling as-is before you start.
5. What sort of real estate market are we in?
A buyers’ market, a sellers’ market or a balanced market? This will help with understanding how to best price the home.
6. Are you prepared to show your home at any time?
You never know when a buyer might want to see a home. It is important to be able to accommodate them, even if it is on very short notice. If your home has sat unsold, see what to do next.
7. Have you considered all of the costs of selling?
There are a lot of costs that come with selling a home, such as real estate agent fees, home staging, closing costs, etc. Make sure these have all been considered all when coming up with your asking price. Here is what it costs to sell in Orlando.
8. Have you found your next home?
If not, is there a plan in place for where you will go once the home is sold? If you are moving somewhere smaller, see downsizing in Orlando.
