Selling your home can be a challenge, especially when there are times in the market where it’s more in the buyers’ favor than the seller’s. However, most homes are sellable and can be sold fairly quickly so long as everything aligns in the right place at the right time.
Whether you’re keen to sell quickly to move to your next property, or you’d prefer to have a faster sale than waiting around, here are six secrets to selling your home quickly in 2025.
- Prepare your home
Preparing your home is the first step when selling your home quickly. You’ll want to declutter the spaces so that they’re ready for staging and for photos to be taken.
Decluttering a home can feel like a hard task, especially the bigger the property is. Not only that but you might have quite a big family, all with their own clutter and so addressing the spaces can prove difficult when you don’t know whose belongings are whose.
That’s why it might be a good idea to get all of the household involved – or at least those who are able to help. The more hands that can help out, the quicker you’ll be able to declutter the space.
After that, you might want to consider a staging service to help stage your home or rearrange furniture so that it benefits the space more than it might be doing now. Think about minimizing the furniture in the space so it’s more functional.
- Take great photographs and video content
When it comes to taking photographs and video content, you want this content to reflect your home in the best light possible. These high-quality home photos are going to be influential in a quick sale.
That means capturing the very best photos possible, ideally taking the photos on a clear day so that plenty of natural light can get in. You want to avoid using any photographers who warp the sizing of the room too much, as this can disappoint viewers of the property if they believe it to be bigger than it actually is.
Make sure you’ve got plenty of photos to use for the listing when it goes live. You should also check that there’s video content so that buyers can get a perspective of the spaces in motion. It might be something that convinces more buyers to actually visit the property.
- Consider the timing
The next thing to consider is the timing of the sale. Is the market in your favor currently, or not? The best way to find out is to simply take a look at the news outlets online and the experts within the field of real estate itself.
Speaking to realtors is a good way of determining if now is the right time to sell your property or if you should perhaps wait six months or longer to put your property up.
There are times when you might want to hold fire just in case. If you stay on the market for too long, it might look unfavorable to the property. Whether that’s to do with the price or not, you want to make sure the timing is right to get the most people through the door.
- Set a reasonable price
What price are you hoping to get for your property? Some will overprice their property and therefore stab themselves in the foot as a result. You don’t want to fall at the first hurdle after only just getting out of the stalls.
Think about the price you want, what properties of your size and quality are going for locally, and be mindful of what the agent suggests too. It’s important to factor all of these in before coming to the price you’d like to advertise it for.
- Be open to negotiation
Negotiation is important because there will be some who agree at the first sign of an offer and others who might find themselves being less open to negotiation and sabotaging serious buyers as a result.
You want to be open to negotiation and flexible in what you can agree on. While you want the best price possible, you don’t want it to be too low that you lose money or too strict that you lose the buyer.
- Try out multiple representations through real estate
Some properties might need an extra helping hand or it may be a property that’s fairly unique and needs the assistance of multiple real estate agents. Consider multiple representations as this might also spur the agents themselves to get the home sold faster.
Selling your home quickly can be difficult but not impossible. Use these tips to make it happen for you and your home this year.
