Tips to get your New Hampshire home sold

1. Do your spring cleaning

Since you’re planning to get your home on the market by summer, you will need to actually clean and declutter your home in the spring. The long New Hampshire winter has surely caused you to let stuff pile up in your home, and much of it to become stuffy and dusty.

Use the spring months to clean out what you’ve been meaning to get rid of, declutter your home, and open up those living spaces. Buyers will want to see all the features of your home and easily imagine how they can utilize the space living there.

2. Consider meaningful repairs

While you’ll want any repairs and renovations to be cost-effective, i.e. add value to your home, it is likely the harsh winters and New Hampshire weather has left some repairs necessary. Maybe it is something more expensive, like fixing a roof, or something small like simply repairing a garage door. In either case, you’ll want to assess if it is something you can easily take care of to avoid low ball offers on your home.

3. Put up a fresh coat of paint

While you might find dark colors on your home, or your kid’s brightly painted bedroom unique, most sellers are turned off by bold colors. A neutral tone will create a blank slate for buyers and allow them to consider what they would do with the space. Consider painting the interior white or something neutral. Light colors are also best outside, but at the very least consider freshening up the exterior paint and removing any blemishes.

4. Stage your home and take professional photos

If you’ve done repairs, painted, cleaned, and otherwise prepared your home, leave your smartphone behind and hire a professional to take photos of your home. You’ll want to be sure you accurately depict the best features of your home and use them to market your home properly.

A local real estate agent will know how to target the right buyers, stage your home properly, and set up open houses and showings to attract strong buyers for a quick and smooth transaction. No one wants to see an empty home, so instead take the time to let professionals give your home the first impression it deserves to buyers.

5. Price your home properly

A comparative market analysis (CMA) is what best gives you a reasonable expectation of what price you can get for your home. An experienced, local real estate agent can best get you the information you need to put together an informed analysis. This will include recent sales, inventory on the market, and what features have added value to similar homes.
