7 Items You Don’t Want to Overlook When Selling a Boston Condo
Here is a quick list of things to think about…
Deferred Maintenance
Is there is any deferred maintenance in your Beacon Hill condo for sale like missing light bulbs? Missing or damaged vent covers? Chipped or peeling paint? Cracked plaster? Damaged screens etc? Deferred maintenance – even small stuff – raises a red flag to a Boston condo buyer and makes them question what other items have been overlooked.
Dated Light Fixtures
Are light fixtures tired or dated? Believe it or not, light fixtures will impact your Boston high rise condo sale. Updating light fixtures is an easy and relatively cheap way to modernize a space.
Highest and Best Use for Space
Is the current use of a particular room in your Charles River Park condo for sale the best for selling? For example, are you using your dining room as an office? If so, you might consider changing it back to its intended use, especially if there is no other designated space for a table. Only 10% of buyers can visualize an alternative use of a space. Don’t make them have to think.
Clear the Clutter
Are heavily traveled traffic patterns clear of as much clutter as possible? Our rule is if you don’t need it in your day to day life, or you can live without it while your Boston downtown condo is on the market, pack it in a box and put it in the garage. This keeps your home feeling spacious and open.
Kitchens, Baths, Master Bedroom
Do key areas like the kitchen, bathrooms and master bedroom need work to appeal to Beacon Hill condo buyers? Not sure? We can help you decide.
Spruce it Up
Does your Boston Midtown condo for sale look tired? If so, consider sprucing it up so the buyer doesn’t immediately assume your home needs a lot of work. Things like paint can go a long way.
Who is My Target Buyer?
Does your Boston Seaport condo for sale appeal to the type of buyer looking for your type of home? Unsure who might purchase your home? Ask your Realtor to help you understand your home’s target market.
