SRG Insider tip- Knowing your competition
Are you considering selling your home? One critical mistake that sellers often make is not understanding their competition and how to differentiate themselves in the market.
To begin, it is essential to research comparable homes currently for sale in Grays Harbor County, focusing on properties that match your bedroom, bathroom, and square footage criteria. Take note of any differences. Are other homes more updated? Do you possess a larger lot or unique features? Identifying these aspects will help determine your home’s position in the market.
If your home appears less renovated compared to others, don’t worry. Many prospective buyers are eager to personalize a home through do-it-yourself projects, which can be leveraged to your advantage during marketing. However, it’s important to recognize that if your home doesn’t present as well as freshly renovated properties in a competitive search, you may not be able to command the same price.
Factors such as a larger lot, a workshop, a chef’s dream kitchen, or a captivating view can positively influence your home’s sales price range. Highlighting the unique aspects of your home can make it more appealing to potential buyers and sway their decision in your favor. Make a comprehensive list of the features you’ve added or that set your home apart from others, and consider their value. Keep in mind that uniqueness may resonate with specific individuals who share your vision.
