Selling Your Detroit House? Read this post to help you sell it faster today!<\/p><\/div>It is no secret that selling a house in Detroit<\/strong><\/em> can be one of the biggest transactions to a number of homeowners.\n\nHowever, before you start marketing your house and bringing potential buyers into it… there are a few things you should do, that we’ve learned over the years here at Chris Buys Homes in Detroit, to help increase your chances of selling your house faster and for a better price.\n

Sell Your Detroit House Faster By Doing These FIRST<\/span><\/h2>\nDe-Clutter and Take Down Some Of Your Family Memorabilia<\/strong>\n\nYou might want to take your time and make the whole place less personal by removing family photos and other memorabilia if you have a bunch of it up. \u00a0Get rid of that shrine of little Johnny’s sports metals and the fridge full of kids drawings. At first, this may feel\u00a0very weird to you, but to a potential buyer… they need to be able to picture themselves in that house. But if you fill the fridge with pictures and momentos of your family… it makes it harder for the buyer to see the fridge and picture their own things on it.\n\nThe following are other things that will play out before you sell your home.\n\nPrice it Right<\/strong>\n\nWhile it can be very easy to decide on what you want your home to fetch in the market, it will make more sense if you consider the industry standards when determining its actual market value. \u00a0And just know that what you want for your house and what someone in the current market will pay for it may be two different things.\n\nRemember many people may be looking for homes, but they have become smarter than never before and they come armed with “research” they found online on websites like Zillow<\/a> (which tends to value houses lower than what a buyer will actually pay for them). After all, research has actually shown that over 90% of home buyers start their search for new homes through the internet… so make sure that you’re not asking far more than the online sources show (or have a great reason to back up your higher price to potential buyers).\n\n[hr]\n\nNOTE<\/span><\/strong>: If you’re looking for an accurate value to your Detroit MI, we can actually help you with that.

As a matter of fact, studies have shown that over 70 percent of the potentials buyers will see the home within 3 to 6 months after its listing. However, if you’re not getting the attention you want for your house… there are some things you can do to make your house look better to potential buyers.\n\nThings like…\u00a0<\/em>\n
