Selling a home is a monumental life event that takes time, preparation, and patience. If you’re considering selling your home in 2025, there are things you can start doing now to ensure a successful sale.
Step One: Find out what your home is currently worth and what’s happening in the real estate market. For a free automated home valuation, visit our website showmehome.com/home-valuation/. You’ll be able to compare your home to others on the market as well as those that have sold recently. Talk to a local real estate agent to get a more detailed, accurate evaluation.
Step Two: Consider where you’d like to live next and prepare plans for what you’ll do after you move. Some things to keep in mind are location, type of home, size of the home, and temporary housing if you’ll need it.
Step Three: Talk to an experienced local real estate agent about whether there are any improvements or changes you could make to increase your bottom line. Even if you’re not planning to move for a while, it’s never too early to start decluttering, painting, or making modifications that could increase your value.
Step Four: Your Realtor can also refer you to a great lender and provide guidance on timing a sale and purchase so minimize your stress.
Step Five: Boost the curb appeal of your home and the outdoor space. If your home is close to apartment complexes, consider adding privacy plants now so that they’ll be mature by the time you sell the home. Small tasks like changing out your home numbers, adding more potted plants, and replacing mulch can go a long way for your curb appeal.
