Prepare the home for open house tours. There’s a current imbalance in supply and demand for homes, with properties spending fewer days on the market. We’re living in a seller’s market, meaning there are more buyers than property listings of houses for sale. Even in these situations, it would be detrimental to host an open house before preparing the property. Potential home buyers pay special attention to property details, so make sure to mow the lawn, fix broken doors and windows, repaint the front door, and clean and declutter. Another important step in preparing the home for an open house is depersonalization. You don’t want to give potential home buyers the impression that a family currently lives there. The key is to allow buyers to picture themselves living in the space, so consider removing family pictures from the walls and hiring a professional house stager to highlight the home’s strengths.
Rope in the neighbors. People aren’t just buying the property, they’re investing in the neighborhood as well. Inform your neighbors about the open house, encourage them to pass by, view the house, and mingle with the rest of the community. You can also encourage them to ask any questions pertaining to the property itself, its value, or general real estate queries. Most neighbors want to peek inside and get involved in the process, so involving them can create a sense of community and interest in the property.
