Prepare to Sell

Getting top dollar for your home in a sellers market is important. Here are some tips to help you get the best bang for your buck.

With the little inventory and multiple buyer offers on the market now in Encinitas, it is the time to consider selling your home.  It is a sellers market for now.  So if you are a serious seller here is something you may want to consider.

To get top dollar and avoid having your home withdrawn or expired because you couldn't sell it, there are ways to make sure your home is one that sells.  There are several factors that sway buyers; price and condition being two of them. Price depends in part on available inventory and you cannot control that, but you can take charge of the presentation and condition of your home.  A well presented house in good condition and priced correctly is far more likely to sell at top dollar, than a house with overgrown trees blocking the view and paint peeling off the woodwork. The better condition your home is in and the less cluttered the interior is staged to sell, the better price you are apt to get.

For unknown wear and tear damage, you may want to consider getting a home -inspection report to help identify any defects that may become stumbling blocks to getting top dollar and a contract signed.
