Trying to sell a house but it just won’t sell!
Trying to sell a house in the midst of a global recession is not a fun thing to do. Not only do there seem to be more time wasters on the horizon, but serious buyers always seem to be short on cash. However, by taking a proactive approach to your sales strategy, you can turn your luck around quite easily. This article shows you how to do it!
The recession salesman
You have to target people’s wallets. If you’re looking to buy a home in such a bad economy, you’re probably rich. Keep this in mind when choosing your selling price. Do not offer your house at half price, since you will be scamming yourself out of money. Focus on a small win that doesn’t exceed the mark.
Urgent and uncomplicated advertising
When setting up your marketing campaign, think about the message you want to convey. Don’t appear desperate in your approach, as you will only attract low-bid prospects. Instead, focus on speed and originality. “Own this house today” is a much better call to action than “Urgent sell to avoid foreclosure.” Be original and exciting!
IKEA Fit Guide
To increase the perception of high value in your home, consider the following IKEA options:
– Go out and buy modern and attractive shower and lighting fixtures. Think about energy efficiency and water saving options, as going green will increase your chances of a sale.
– For some cheap furniture and stain the wood yourself. Sell these bits and pieces with the house for a little extra value to your buyer.
– Door knobs, cabinet handles, even shower curtains will make a big impression on the value of your home.
– If you have an outdoor entertaining area, consider purchasing a cheap yet attractive outdoor furniture set. Again, you can stain the wood yourself to give it a less IKEA-esque look.
