Home selling becomes even more difficult, especially in this COVID-19 outbreak. As the inflation rate is rising and the mortgage rate getting higher, it is quite difficult to set the correct home price. Particularly first-time home sellers often do mistakes by charging the incorrect price of a home. So, try to think practically and set a realistic price.
The very first mistake that a home seller usually do is not expecting any home selling cost. But in reality, the seller also has to bear some expenses like agent commissions, closing costs, or staging costs. They also have to pay a few hundred bucks for a home inspection before listing the home. All these costs can be overwhelming if they are not prepared for these.
Presently home buyers want to make sure that the home is clean enough to protect against any infection. But home sellers often neglect necessary repairs. They want to sell the home as it is to maximize profit. However, home sellers should be aware that buyers often reject those home which requires further repairs. That’s why sellers should complete all the necessary repairs before taking them home to the market.
Nowadays home buyers perform their house hunting online. So, online presence is very important while selling home in this current period. The common mistake that a first-time home seller do is not using good-looking professional listing photos. If the online photos don’t look good it fails to attract potential customers. So, it is important to enhance the online presentation.
