When it comes to selling country homes, you have some preparations to make before you run out into the front yard and stick your for sale sign into the ground. Whether you think your property is perfect or you aren’t sure where to begin, there are 3 essential key fixes you need to make before you putting country homes on the market. Selling country homes can take anywhere from days to years. The last thing you want to deal with is a stale home listing that is not attracting any buyers. In order to grab potential buyer’s attention, you need to make your country home stand out. You have to provide them with the vision that it is their home and is ready to move in.
Landscaping
You don’t have to have a green thumb to do some quick landscaping to your yard. One of the first things people notice when they arrive at your house is the yard. Your property should be appealing. If you have an abundance of weeds or your grass is too tall, you need to fix this fast. This doesn’t require a lot of money. All you need is a few hours to get out in the yard and update your landscaping. Get those weeds out of the flower beds and mow the yard right before the next open house. You will be amazed at what a nicely groomed yard can do for a sale.
Pressure Washing
Because the exterior of the country home is so important to the property’s curb appeal, you need to make sure the home does not look old and dingy. The older the home gets, the more likely it is to start to change colors and become older looking. To help reverse this from happening, you can pressure wash your house to give a fresh, new look. This process can be done in a few hours and you can choose to do it yourself or hire a company to handle it for you. You also want to make sure you pressure wash the driveway and any walkways to remove stains. This will help grab potential buyer’s attention and hopefully help you close a deal.
New Paint
When it comes to the interior of the house, a fresh coat of paint can work wonders. Many buyers look for a house that feels like home to them. If the walls are painted an eccentric color, the buyers will have a hard time visualizing themselves there. You want to have the home painted in either neutral colors or all white. Having white walls leaves the buyer’s to their own imagination. It is also important that potential buyers do not see a bunch of scuff marks and chipped paint on the wall. This will give them the impression you did not take good care of the home. You want them to see how valuable your country home is and make them want to live there.
