If you live in an area where new homes like your own are being built and you are trying to sell, it can be difficult to compete with a brand new house. The best thing that you could do is spy a little. Go to one of the open houses for the place. Look at the exterior. See what they

did with the landscaping. Look at the furniture and décor in the house. These are likely to be the best trends for right now. They

have a professional painter, landscaper and interior designer. Having all of that at their disposal makes it the perfect right now idea of the

ideal home. Try making your home more like that if you can.

Start by making sure when outside your house you can’t see any flaws or shortcomings. Assessing your own home is hard, so have your

real estate agent or a close friend come along and point out all of the bad as an effort to make selling easier. It may be hard but it will be

effective. Start with curb appeal. Do you need to paint the door? Are touch ups needed on the house? Does your landscaping leave

something to be desired? Don’t just answer these questions. By the end of the process make each a clear no!

After you have dealt with the outside, move inside. Take each room one at a time. What are its flaws? What needs fixing and what just needs fixing up a little? Make small but meaningful changes like repainting or getting rental furniture like the model homes you

looked at have. Be competitive. You want everything to be extremely clean in the whole house, even where you don’t think

they will look. Make sure it looks like a perfect home right out of a magazine. People love to think of themselves decorating that way,

even if they never will.

Any actual problems with the house must be fixed. If it needs a lot of repairs, even small ones, people will shy away from buying it. They

want a perfect new home that needs no work. And remember, the more renovations that you do, the higher the asking price will be. A nice new spa tub or new appliances make a big impact on buyers.

Old outdated rooms really look like fixer uppers.

Remember, keeping up with newly built homes will be hard to do but you have to try. Making your home similar will give you an edge, especially because newly built homes might cost more money so

your almost identical but older home may seem like a real bargain to any perspective buyers who come by. Remember that every house

has its own great features and not so great ones. Try to minimize the bad while making all of the good real focal points to make people pay attention to what is a really nice place to live. All of the tricks

and tips should serve you well when selling your house.Resource:
