Capital Region Real Estate Market Trends

  Now that you understand the value of an open house as a seller, two most important things you would want to remember would be the following: First, put away any valuable items!  Remove all valuable items from the house, e.g., jewelry, cash, etc.  Secondly, professionally clean the entire house, if possible, including the basement!  Clean & organized home will make a better first impression on prospective buyers.  You may consider this stage as an opportunity to clutter bust items you no longer need!  If you are downsizing, you may want to hire a professional organizer to effectively address how to let go of “sentimental” items that have accumulated over a long period of time.  Good realtors should be able to connect you with best local professionals or resources to help you with organizing and clutter bust your home for the open house and future showings.  Clean homes will make a great impression on appraisers and inspectors, too!

  Many prospective sellers will be asked to do an open house by their realtor as a marketing strategy.   Do you really need to do it?   I believe it can be an effective marketing tool When done right.   Open houses will bring many prospective buyers into your house all at once.   When 20 buyers come to the open house, you could receive multiple offers right there!   That’s it!   No more showings!   Another benefit of an Open House is that interested buyers will see the level of enthusiasm for the home and they will be more motivated to write a competitive offer!   In my next post I will write about how to prepare your home for a successful open house.   😊 Wishing you all the best in your real estate journey, Young Jin Chun Licensed Real Estate Salesperson Sinkoff Realty Group Email: YoungJin@SinkoffRealtyGroup.com Website: www.SinkoffRealtyGroup.com Cell : (518)728-6591
