Keep an eye on the property market. Prices are known to rise and drop all the time, so try and avoid choosing to sell your property during a drop, or you will not get the price you are hoping for. Keep a close eye on the competition when it comes to choosing what price to list your property for. Have a look around your area for houses of a similar size with similar features and see what they are listing—and selling — for. You can get your house valued by a professional and decide from there; but it is good to do your own research so you know what is fair for you. It is also worth choosing a reputable agent who can get you the right exposure and optimize your chances of selling. It may cost you a little more than other places in commission, but it’s always worth choosing a company you know will get results because of their experience and reputation. All it does is increase your chances of getting that sale. So that’s everything you need to know about how to sell a vacant house and make it look like a home. Just a few little changes can make all the difference in making your house go from abandoned and lifeless, too homely and enticing. Make the most of the blank canvas, rather than the remnants of your home and allow the buyer to picture their life in the property and you’re as good as sold. This, means that while you are selling an empty house, it should not be so empty if you wish to sell it as fast as possible. • • •
