7 Ways to Make Your Home Listing Stand Out

When selling your home, it's important to make sure it stands out from the crowd. It's good to know what buyers look for when they come to your home. Take a look at our list of seven simple ways to understand better what will make your home listing stand out.

 

Highlight your home's unique features
If your home has any unique features, be sure to highlight them in your listing. This could include anything from a fireplace or swimming pool to an open floor plan or a beautiful view from a bay window. While making a plan to sell your home, take photos of these unique features and use them in your home listing. This way, potential buyers will see what they're missing out on if they don't choose your home over others on the market.

 

Give potential buyers space
Cleaning and tidying up is the first step to making your home stand out. Your house should be clean and tidy, with as little clutter as possible. If there are personal items in the room, remove them. It's best not to put personal items in plain sight in a way that makes potential buyers feel uncomfortable or unwelcome – or worse, like they're looking at someone else's private property!

Make sure you understand what your buyers are looking for.

Take care that your home is well maintained – this is probably the number one piece of advice your real estate agent will give you. This can be hard if you have pets or children who may not have been taught how to clean up after themselves yet (or maybe just don't). However, be careful about leaving food out for too long or having pets running around on dirty paws. Both are common ways for homes to develop bad odors that turn off buyers before they get a chance even start looking around!

Step back and look at your yard

You may be so used to looking at your home from inside or nearby that you don't see the whole picture. When creating a home listing, you should also prioritize your home's exterior. Here are a few things you should consider:

 

● Make sure it is easy to access your home. If there are stairs, make sure they are well-maintained and safe, so buyers have no issues accessing your home.

● It should be easy to get around in your yard. For example, if you have tall grass, make sure there aren't any snakes hiding in it! Also, ensure there aren't any hazards like holes or protruding branches that could cause accidents for someone unfamiliar with them (or who might not think about them).

● Get rid of anything that might distract from a buyer's experience of your property. Whether it be an old shed in the back corner of a lot or an unsightly tree on top of a hill overlooking the house itself!

Neutralize your decor to appeal to the masses
By neutralizing your home décor, you will double the chances of catching an eye of a buyer. You can use neutral colors and furniture in your house listing photos, such as black, beige, white, or gray. They are classic and easy for everyone to relate to. Neutral tones also make it easier for potential buyers' eyes to focus on the essentials of a room (like its floor plan) rather than on distracting elements like color schemes or accessories.

Adding a few simple details to your home decor can help your home listing stand out.

Also, consider using carpets in shades of medium brown or cream rather than bolder styles that might be more suited for other rooms in your home. The same goes for art pieces: select pieces with muted colors over more ornate artwork that may look out of place against pale walls and light-colored furniture items.

Add a little "wow" factor
To make your listing stand out from the crowd and make an excellent first impression, you should add a little extra to your home listing. It's a good idea to look for online catalogs and get some ideas from their photos. Keep in mind that some of the best-looking homes have something visually unique. While creating a listing, consider adding a piece of decoration that will make your home stand out.

Clean, clean, clean

On websites like heavenlymove.com, you can find plenty of tips for moving your home, like packing, cleaning, and making a relocation plan. You'll learn that cleaning your home before selling it can have more than one benefit. Not only will it help your home listing stand out, but it will also help you pack more efficiently.

 

A clean home shows that you take pride in your space and care about what potential buyers will think of it. Take some time to make sure that every room is spotless, from windowsills and mirrors to ceilings and floors.

 

Here are ways to make sure you get the best price for your home

● Add photos and videos of the insides of your home.

● Take advantage of virtual tours.

● Provide information about your neighborhood.

Remove the clutter

As mentioned above, to make your home listing stand out, you should remove all of your personal items from the listing. It'll help you make a better first impression on potential buyers and give them an idea of what they can do with the space if they buy it.

 

Selling a home can be stressful enough without having additional clutter inside of it. You can always rent a storage unit if you want to eliminate unnecessary items in your home. This will allow you to have a clutter-free space and improve the overall impression of your home. Furthermore, prospective buyers have no visual distractions when they look at the listings.
