The best market for home sellers in the nation is the Bay Area, according to the San Francisco Business Times. Low inventory and high home values contribute to the area’s competitive real estate market, meaning that San Francisco homeowners who sell their properties now can earn more money back at closing. If you have been considering selling your property but have been waiting for the right time to put it on the market, you should start getting your home ready to sell immediately.
What to Do in a Sellers’ Market
In markets such as this one, sellers have the advantage; high supply and low demand for homes often leads to an increase in a listing’s price. In order to maximize your return when you sell, follow our tips for putting your home on the market.
1. Clean and Declutter Your Home
There are several ways to increase your home’s value. Before you list your home, take the time to enhance its curb appeal, declutter closets and other storage spaces, give the walls a fresh coat of paint, and pack or discard any household items you no longer use.
Buyers are drawn to homes that feature neutral decor, spacious and well-lit rooms, and a well-maintained exterior. Follow these staging and curb appeal tips to create this positive first impression, which is key to selling your San Francisco home for more money.
2. Determine the Price of Your Home
After you have taken the steps to increase your home’s value, it’s time to determine a competitive listing price. A San Francisco real estate expert will research current market conditions, recent sales of properties similar to yours, and any recent improvements or upgrades you have made to your home in order to figure out a fair market value.
