Tucson Home Sellers are in an enviable position since the Tucson housing market is still outperforming the rest of the country. People are still moving to Tucson because the climate and lifestyle are strong attractions to the Old Pueblo.The total dollar value for the volume of home sales is still on the rise. Even though the number of homes on the market is increasing there are still plenty of people moving to Tucson keeping the market stronger than other parts of the country.

   Home sellers should recognize that the effort put into preparing their home for market will pay huge dividends in terms of shortening the time the home is on the market and the eventual price received for their home.

Good Preparation = Shorter Time on Market + Fair Market Value

   Once a homeowner makes the decision to sell, it's time to start viewing their home from the perspective of a buyer. And what's the first thing a buyer see's when they approach your home for a viewing ? That's right the front yard and exterior of the house. So, fresh paint, pristine exterior and a neatly landscaped, uncluttered yard can justify maximum market value for your home. So the # 1 priority is to maximize your home's exterior curb appeal. First impressions are everything for a property on the market.

    The next priority is to enhance the interior charm of the house. A home owner does this by making sure the interior is clean and fresh paint is applied where needed. Staging the furniture, wall hangings and accessories, for an open space feeling, allows the buyer to use their imagination for placement of their belongings and future design possibilities. A buyer has to be able to see what future potential a house has as well as how it looks today.

   Get your home warranty and inspection done up front. When your home sells, it's likely that the sale will be subject to an inspection. By providing an initial inspection and warranty, the buyer can feel confident and stress free about buying your home and you can feel confident about selling it.
