THE 4 P’S TO SELLING YOUR HOME.
If you’re thinking of selling your home and would like to achieve an optimal return on your home, it’s important that you weigh up the 4 P’s of Property.
Position– Usually if buyers are looking at your home they are interested in the area, but it may help to make a list of things you love about your street, neighborhood, and suburb that your agent can use when discussing your house with buyers. Sometimes, the position may not be ideal, as we cannot relocate the house from the position it sits on, in that case, the other 3 Ps must be on point to help your sale well and gain the buyer's attention.
Pricing– The price at which your home first hits the market is crucial, as your property will attract the most buyers within its first 4 to 6 weeks of promotion. Properties that are overpriced will usually generate very little buyer interest and will take longer to sell (often eventually selling at a lower price than properties priced right for the market)
Presentation– De-cluttering, cleaning, and staging or styling your home for sale are important if you want your house to impress on inspection day. Presenting your home for sale is the one ‘P’ that will help make your house stand out in the minds of buyers.
Promotion– Your agent will put together a marketing strategy to give your house maximum exposure and help you achieve the best possible price. By using a photo signboard at the front of your home, professional photography, a floor plan, and internet exposure on the major websites, you’ll be doing your best to help your house reach as many potential buyers as possible.
By using the 4 P’s of Selling well, you will effectively sell the lifestyle your home affords and hit the market at a competitive price to make the most of your house’s early popularity. Each of these stages will help you to maximize the amount you achieve for your home and ensure you’re able to move on without regrets.
If the 4 Ps in Real Estate Selling are neglected, the property will sit on the market longer, the buyers might lose interest and think about what is wrong with that property not selling, the buyers might go elsewhere, may achieve a lower price, or not sell at all. Listening to your agent's advice is paramount in selling for the best price that the Market is willing to pay.
