Spruce Up Your Troy Michigan Real Estate for a Quick Sale

Posted in Troy Michigan Real Estate by Michigan Real Estate Expert on May 14th, 2009

If your Troy Michigan real estate has been sitting on the market for more than three weeks, it’s already an “old property.” Being an old property hurts sales because buyers looking in that community wonder what is wrong with your home that’s keeping it from selling. Even in today’s slower market, that holds true. It’s human nature to think something must be wrong with an item that hasn’t sold quickly. There are things you can do, however, to spruce up your home to make it more appealing and help it sell faster.

A second look from potential buyers can be a life-saver to you when selling your Troy Michigan real estate. If a previous looker was on the fence, just a few little changes might make them reconsider. Ask your real estate agent to share negative comments from walkthroughs. Don’t be offended, instead, find a way to overcome that dissatisfaction. If one person felt a room was too dark, too crowded, too cluttered, it is likely others will too.

After you address those issues, consider how your Troy Michigan home really looks. If you haven’t had time to do much landscaping get out there and plant a few border plants along the walk, or line the front of your house with some attractive flowers.  At the very least, make sure lawn, trees and shrubs are trimmed, pruned and weeded to make your yard look as neat as possible.

Paint the inside. If you walls haven’t been painted recently, chances are they could use some sprucing up. Your buyers want a home to sparkle and a new coat of paint is a cheap way to make that happen.
