Tips to get your Oklahoma home sold
1. Price your home competitively using a comparative market analysis
The initial listing price of your home can greatly influence how many buyer offers you see and how long your home stays on the market.
For instance, if you price your home too high above market value, many buyers will pass over your home looking for a more affordable price elsewhere.
And, if you price your home too low under market value, buyers will be more apprehensive to pull the trigger believing that there’s something wrong with the home to be so affordable.
To help you know what to list your home at and price your home competitively to draw in more buyer offers, utilize a comparative market analysis (CMA). A CMA compares your home to the prices of similar homes recently sold in the surrounding area.
By knowing the current market value of homes in your neighborhood, you can price your home at a similar price or just below the market value to attract more offers and start buyer bidding wars, which can ultimately raise asking prices and help your home sell above the initial list price.
2. Highlight the best features of your location
Oklahoma’s thriving economy, job market, and numerous colleges and schools attract many young adults to the state with the majority looking for homes close to the action.
Buyers will be looking for homes with easy commutes into the metro for job opportunities, school, entertainment, and restaurants and bars. Highlight if your home is near any main highways with easy access into the major cities or near any convenient public transit.
Be sure to also showcase if your home is in a great school district, a low-crime neighborhood, or if you’re close to any parks, grocery stores, coffee shops, or local businesses.
3. Stage your home
Staging your home helps potential buyers to imagine themselves living in the home and, according to realtor.com, a staged home sells 88% faster and for 20% more than a non-staged home.
A professional stager will come and help you declutter and rearrange or remove furniture in order to highlight the best aspects of your home and draw in more buyer offers.
A stager can bring in a new perspective as you may not realize how faded your old couch is or see the noticeable chips on your stair banisters.
4. Add smart technology
Smart technology is an easy and relatively inexpensive addition that can increase the value of your home as well as make it more appealing to younger buyers.
Smart technology can range from putting your lights on timers, installing a smart thermostat that can be controlled remotely from your phone, or setting up a smart security system such as a smart lock that reads your fingerprint, or a video doorbell.
5. Focus on that small-town feel
One of Oklahoma’s best features is that the state is able to hold onto that small-town vibe while still having plenty of big-city attractions. Play up the small-town feel by working on your home’s curb appeal.
Big, green front yards can help foster the all-American image — consider adding a small gate or picket fence to your yard as well as a front porch in order to enhance this feel. Certainly, these additions can be appealing to young adults looking to start their own family.
