16 Oct 5 Home Sale Myths You Should Stop Believing
It’s easy to price your home.
It’s your home and you’ve seen what, like, 3 of your neighbors have priced their homes at this year. Who else could be more qualified to price your home? You might be surprised, but most experts agree that sellers aren’t a good judge of home price. In fact, most sellers tend to over value their properties based on sentimental value.
You should remodel your house before you sell to maximize profit.
There may be a room or two you should consider upgrading in your home before you sell, but you shouldn’t necessarily consider a gut rehab as the best way to maximize your profit margin. You might want to spruce up a master bedroom, update your kitchen or consider some landscaping to boost appeal.
Keep your home super tidy and remember that it’s the small improvements that matter.
You have to sell in Spring.
Spring and summer have long received all the real estate glory as the best (and busiest) time to buy and sell a home. But the truth is that any season can be the best. It just depends on the market.
Bottom line: Know what’s going on in your local housing market and don’t wait for the “best” time to list. With the services of a savvy Realtor, you’ll make out OK no matter when you decide to make a move.
All you need is the internet.
Although online home value estimates (like the ones on realtor.com®!) are a good starting point, they’re no substitute for the expertise of a Realtor.
You have to have an agent to sell your property.
Many people who are looking to sell a property turn to a real estate agent to manage the responsibilities of listing, marketing, price negotiation, and executing the closing paperwork for the sale of a home. If you opt for a for sale by owner (FSBO) transaction, you take on all the responsibilities of a realtor.
