Selling a Florida Home? These Tips Will Get it Off The Market Faster

Posted On Thursday, 01 July 2021 19:42

Selling your Florida home sounds easy, after all, what’s not to love about a stunning home based in the Sunshine State? However, with more families and couples moving to Florida than ever before, competition within the housing market is fierce, which means homeowners need to re-evaluate how they’ll sell their homes for the right market price.

Let’s explore some simple selling tips that will get your home off the market faster.

Work With a Reputable Realtor

If you want to sell your Floridian home as quickly as possible, then you’ll need to have an experienced and reputable realtor by your side. It’s the quickest and most effective way to make the most of the market, pull in interest, compete effectively with other properties in the area, negotiate the right deals and ensure that the home-selling process is as stress-free as possible.

Find yourself a realtor who has experience within your chosen home-style, whether their forte is opulent homes for sale in Florida, ranch-style homes that prioritise outdoor living or Spanish style properties that are renowned for their iron window trims and decorative front yards, conduct plenty of research to find the right realtor for your needs.

Boost Your Kerb Appeal

In realty, kerb appeal matters. In fact, 68% of property buyers think that kerb appeal is important when buying a home. And if your property falls short of their expectations, then you’re only going to sabotage your own house sale. Make a start by keeping the front of your property clean and tidy, freshen up your flower beds and your foliage, power wash your driveway and paths, install some outdoor lighting, and freshen up the paint or brickwork on the exterior of your property.  

Remind Them of the Lifestyle

Whether you’re in charge of your listing, or you’re trusting the sale to a realty agency, consider including hints and reminders that emphasize the lifestyle and location of your property. Uploading photographs within your listing of local beaches, shopping areas, parks, nature trails etc, can entice prospective buyers into taking a closer look at your property and reminds them that they’re not just buying your home, but they’re buying a Florida lifestyle.  

Include Some Outdoor Furniture

Home Staging is an art, however, you don’t have to have experience in this role to make your property look attractive and appealing. As Florida is renowned for its outdoor living lifestyle, sellers should pay particular attention to the look of their outdoor space. By staging some smart, and attractive outdoor furniture, including lighting, you’ll be able to fuel the imaginations of your prospective buyers and bring them a step closer to making an offer.

And Finally, Include as Many Images as Possible

There’s nothing more frustrating for potential buyers than looking through a listing and being limited to a couple of images. While it’s logical to think that you want them to book a viewing to see your house in person, it’s far more prudent to provide multiple visuals to excite and entice buyers into a visit. Include as many photos as possible and consider filming a house tour that can be uploaded onto the listing. Full shots and plenty of different angles will help sell your property.
