Thousands of Edmonton and area homes for sale - How do you stand out?

With thousands of Real Estate listings in the Edmonton area it's more than likely there's a bit of competition on your street. Properly preparing your home for sale will bring it to a level playing field, if not a step above its competitors.

Home buyers differ in their priorities for their new home but they all have a few things in common:

• 80% of them view your home online or in print for the first time
• Most make a priority list of homes to view based on how they look in the advertisement
• They are looking for a great home at a great price and start looking for ways to justify a lower offer
• They can view a number of homes in a day with showings lasting as little as 10 minutes
• Most are looking for move in ready homes
• They tend to lump homes with dated décor as fixer uppers
• Regardless of age; cluttered homes look smaller and less appealing
• Many will place their furniture the same way they see it displayed, so if it doesn't look right they assume there is a lack of overall space rather than a problem with the furniture placement
• Only 10% of them can visualize a home's potential; if it doesn't look appealing they lose interest quickly
• First impressions are formed in less than 60 seconds and can cause a quick decision based on visual appeal
• It's hard for them to make an emotional connection in a home that showcases personal photographs and collections because it reminds them it's someone else's home
• Their ultimate goal is to find a home that looks and feels better than what they have now

Don't leave it up to a buyer's imagination - show them how wonderful your home is!
