Did you know that homes in the Bay Area sell faster than any other area in the country? Did you also know that around two-thirds of homes that sell in the Bay Area are purchased for over the asking price? All of that to say: it’s a great time to sell your home in San Fransisco.
In addition to the Bay Area market already being so rich for sellers, springtime is one of the best times to list your home. Buyers are more motivated for a variety of reasons, so you reap the benefits of a faster selling process for a larger profit. If you’re ready to list your San Fransisco home this season, here’s what you need to know.
Clean, Clean, Clean
This tip isn’t necessarily specific to spring, but if you want to sell your home, then it’s one of the most important things to remember. Buyers are going to be inspecting every corner of your home, even the ones that you might miss. With spring cleaning right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to get started.
Break out your best cleaning supplies and spend a weekend or two vacuuming, mopping, dusting, polishing, fixing, and scrubbing every floor, sink, crack, and crevice of your home. Let all of that spring sunshine in through the open windows and highlight your newly polished floors!
Take Advantage of the Season
Cleaning a home and staging a home go hand-in-hand, and they both play a vital role in making a lasting impression on buyers. While there are plenty of year-round tips for staging well, spring offers unique opportunities to take advantage of the season.
Have some freshly bloomed flowers or plants around? Bring them inside to create neutral decor and a pop of color—not to mention some fresh and floral scents. Is there space in your yard for a garden? Take your landscaping up a notch, and replace those weeds with healthy plants. The fresh air and sunshine of springtime puts most people in a better mood, so find the best ways to use that to your advantage.
