1. 5 Things You Didn’t Know Could Get
Your Home Sold (and Why Buyers
Should Think Twice Before Biting!)
2. We all know buyers care about
beds, baths, square feet and
location, location, location. But inside the minds
of homebuyers lurk a handful of surprising
housing-related hot buttons which inspire offers
and get homes sold.
3. 1.Your Neighborhood Grocery store. Or Costco, or
other outpost for daily living
supplies that tends to have a
rabid following. On a recent
HuffingtonPost article about
the grocery chains, one visitor
left a comment to the effect that they selected their
home largely based on its proximity to a Grocery
store And buyer’s brokers will tell you -homebuyers’
eyes light up and they pay a much closer look to
homes near a local favorite coffee shop or farmer’s
market.
4. 2.Staging Your Patio/Deck/Backyard/Front
Porch. Homebuyers see the bistro set you have
set up on your bedroom balcony and envision
rolling out of bed to a Sunday morning brunch
as they leisurely peruse the Globe and Mail. It’s
a fantasy, after all, so there’s no need to fill in
all the details, like who’s
preparing that brunch
(not to mention who’s
squeezing the fresh
grapefruit juice)!
5. 3.Tossing the Curtains. Some sellers think
they need to install plantation shutters or at
least tszuj up their played-out
old wicker blinds or other
window coverings. Then,
cash flow dries up and this
is the home staging to-do
item that gets tossed off the
list. Alison Whitelaw, architect
and vice president of the Academy
of Neuroscience for Architecture says, "light and color
have a definite impact on people's emotional
response." Home features that max out the amount of
full-spectrum light to which a person is exposed - like
sunlight or special bulbs and lamps that seek to mimic
natural light - have been proven to actually cause people
in the home to feel better - even happier.
6. 4.Shelves, nooks and crannies. Many an
apartment dweller decides to buy a home
because they are literally busting at the seams.
Many are orderly people living disorderly lives
because they have a big-time shortage of
storage space, and the space they do have lacks
structure and order.
7. 5.How close your neighborhood stores are to
the street. Studies show that homes with high
WalkScores are worth more in the eyes of
homebuyers - and they sell for more, too. Many
sellers say their home is "steps from" this or that
amenity or shopping district, totally ignoring the
fact that the big box stores are eons away from
the street, with massive parking lots lying
between a pedestrian and their entrances.
