The
first rule in home selling is to know your typical buyer. What most buyers would want to have in their homes is what
will eventually sell it. How soon – this depends on how well it fits their
needs. While you can’t fulfill everybody’s wishes, some features make your home
sell faster than others.
What Buyers Want
You
don’t have to get inside your buyer’s mind. Luckily, tips for selling a home are numerous and easy to find. They are based on surveys
and statistics and are usually related to a specific market. While steam ovens
and floor heating may be a good add-on to an upscale home, those upgrades
simply won’t pay off for most sellers. What the majority of people want is a
reliable, good-looking, practical, comfortable, and affordable home. The
most common features that would make your home sell faster are
Curb Appeal
Ample Storage Space
Sufficient Bedrooms
Eat-in Kitchen
Fresh Paint
Energy-efficient Appliances & Windows
Off-road Parking
Renovated Bathrooms
Hardwood Floors
Modern Lighting
Start With Entrance
The first step to boost the appeal would be to declutter your home, which also applies to your yard if you have it. If the exterior of your house is impressive enough, only then the prospective buyer will come inside and check the rest. To sell your home faster, you need to show to your buyer that you took good care of your home. Nothing shouts good maintenance like a neat exterior.
Outstanding curb appeal will make your home sell faster
You
might not have enough space for a garden, however, even a small secluded patio
with a pair of garden chairs or loungers and potted plants can create the feel
of a cozy getaway that most new homeowners look for.
Room for the things
There
aren’t many who can say that they have too much storage space. Those who need
extra storage simply call Verified Movers
and rent a storage facility but there is another option. With the help of
experts, it is possible to create extra storage and exploit otherwise
underutilized space. Additional space for belongings is especially important to
families with kids because they have plenty of useful things they don’t want to
dispose of even if they’re used only occasionally.
Walk-in pantry
In case there is enough extra space, usually 5×5 feet, creating a walk-in pantry in the kitchen is a big bonus. Non-perishables stored at the arms reach is something most would prefer. Even more so because they can save on the deals of bulk purchases. Walk-in pantries are affordable add-ons highly appreciated by families.
A kitchen with a walk-in pantry is a great asset
Walk-in closet
On
the other hand, walk-in closets are added to master bedrooms and are perfect
for empty-nesters in love with neatly organized apparel, jewelry, and
accessories. This feature can be made as a part of the existing bedroom or
placed in a separate, smaller room. Organizers and many shelving units are
worth their price. Walk-in closets are perfect for couples who share storage
space and are highly ranked among other features.
That extra bedroom
Nothing
attracts buyers more than a cozy extra bedroom. A guest bedroom is best suited
for loft space. After all, having a new bedroom in the attic is much better
than blocking the garage. If you opt for the renovation of your loft space,
consider adding a new small bathroom or at least a WC.
Hearth of your home
Making an eat-in kitchen would leave a good impression on families with children. Resurfacing cabinets and repainting walls is the least you can do to make your kitchen more attractive. A new trend and a highly popular and affordable one is adding lighting under cabinets. The effect is to give your kitchen depth and visually make the ceiling higher.
There
is nothing as attractive as new appliances so the first and most important on
the list should be a fridge. Prospective buyers are impressed with spacious and
clean refrigerators as this is the appliance they will use the most.
A new coat
The
most affordable and yet the best investment is fresh paint. Repainting your
walls and ceilings and adding a new coat on the outside leaves a good first
impression. Natural lighting is one of the most beneficial features a home
could have. Bright walls that reflect natural light will make space visually
larger and have a good psychological effect on visitors. If you wish to
attract buyers moving to Virginia from another state, for example, you should stick to neutral colors, appealing
to many.
Energy-efficient walls, windows, and appliances
If nothing else makes people care about the environment it’s the savings they secure by installing energy-efficient windows, adding insulation to their walls and purchasing energy star rated appliances. Any of these features would greatly appeal to millennials. They are both environmentally and financially conscious. Keeping the heat inside will help them keep their cool, too.
Room for your car
It is difficult to imagine getting anywhere without a car nowadays and having an (at least one) parking slot is a big asset to a home. If your garage space has been repurposed, make sure that you keep at least one off-road parking slot.
One of the first things buyers ask the real estate agents is if there’s a garage/parking space available. You too might need to hire a lawyer or a real estate agent if you’re buying a new property at the same time you’re selling. A garage can serve as additional storage and as such is indispensable.
Fresh & Clean
A
tidy and crisp bathroom is a feature no one is immune to, and refurbishing one
is a must. A bathroom is perhaps the only room in the house that is easy to
look luxurious and impressive with a relatively small investment.
Hardwood floors
Hardwood floors are durable and lasting and as a feature, they appeal to everybody. And why not; they are easy to maintain and keep clean.
Interior and exterior lighting
Modern exterior lighting is an add-on that sets your house apart. While an exterior illumination boosts your curb appeal, interior lighting is an affordable feature that will make your home sell faster.

Next month marks the 154th
anniversary of one of the largest and most significant battles in America’s
Civil War, the Battle of the Wilderness.
Conducted around, and sometimes on, our community’s grounds during the
first week of May 1864, the battle is often considered the beginning of the end
of the Confederacy. This year, during
the weekend of May 5 and 6, the National Park Service (NPS), in conjunction
with local living history re-enactor organizations and the Friends of the
Wilderness Battlefield, will offer to the public, free of charge, a full range
of events and demonstrations commemorating this momentous battle.
This event will be held on the grounds of Ellwood Manor,
a restored plantation home located on Route 20, approximately a half mile from
intersection of Route 20 and Route 3.
Participating in the weekend’s activities will be Confederate and Union
infantry and cavalry re-enactors as well as individuals depicting key battle
commanders such as Generals Ulysses Grant, George Meade, and Gouverneur
Warren. Each participating organization
will set up a campsite near Ellwood that will allow you to view several
demonstrations of camp life, including stepping into the life of a soldier or
learning about the medical realities of war in the mid-19th century.
Anyone who wants to learn more about this hallowed land
where we live should not miss this event.
The activities will be held on the grounds of Ellwood each day on May 5
and 6 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; some will be ongoing and others scheduled at
specific times, usually on the hour.
There will be multiple infantry and cavalry battle
demonstrations between the Confederate and Union re-enactors each day. At 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. both days, the NPS will
conduct live fire artillery demonstrations.
At 4 p.m. on Saturday, all of the infantry, cavalry, and artillery units
will conduct a combined battle demonstration.
You don’t want to miss these!
Just prior to the midday firing demonstrations each day, you will be
able to witness a major confrontation among Generals Grant, Meade, and Warren
just as it may have occurred on May 5, 1863.
There will be opportunities to talk to each of the participants and
plenty of photo ops in front of the manor house as well as with all re-enactors
and horses.
Regardless of what you know about the Wilderness Battle
or the Civil War writ large, you will leave Ellwood with a better understanding
of and new perspectives about the events that occurred on this hallowed ground
and how they affected the final outcome of the war less than a year later.
For more information about this Living History event, you
can visit the local NPS website (www.nps.gov.frsp) or the Friends of the Wilderness
Battlefield website (www.fowb.org).
They will provide you with additional details about the events and
participants, as well as the timeline for specific activities and
demonstrations. Mark your calendars –
this weekend is a must see!
