Belle View condos is one of many areas in Northern VA that are currently "hot".
Some housing markets are heating up so much that homes are selling in less than 24 hours—also known as a “flash sale.” I recently had a client that was caught in a torrent of flash sales. She put in offers on several homes that were sold in one day at prices that equaled or exceeded the list price. Her purchase was a flash sale: she made an offer on the day that the property was listed.
Are you considering putting your house in {Location_Name} up for sale, but not sure where to start? Afraid it will take too long to sell, or that you won’t get the price you want? Here are 4 tips to get you started:
1. De-clutter. This is one of the most important things you can do. It might be easier to think of de-cluttering like this – you’re moving anyway, so why not start packing now?
Pack up everything you don’t need and store the boxes out of sight in the garage (or consider temporarily renting a small storage locker).
2. Organize your closets - put similar colors together, pants together, skirts together, shirts together etc. Why? Because it will make the closets look bigger. (Really.) An organized closet appears bigger, and you want your closets to look as spacious as possible.
3. Make your home look like a model. You want to de-personalize as much as possible so potential buyers can imagine themselves and their own belongings occupying the space in your house. That means minimizing – putting away everything you don’t need or use. Clear off kitchen counters as much as possible – stash all those appliances you don’t use, and put miscellaneous small clutter in a few attractive baskets or boxes.
