**SHOULD YOU BE AT HOME THIS TIME?**
Although it’s almost always better for you to be out for someone’s initial viewing, the story can change for anyone who comes back for a second look.

Your unique and personal insights around your home, neighbours, local life and favourite places can be the icing on the cake, but be mindful of overdoing things.

• Avoid hovering or overselling: Give buyers the space to look around and discuss your home privately, and resist the urge to point out every last power socket or light switch.

• Occupy yourself with something casual - preparing food, pruning plants, reading a magazine - while making it clear that you're readily available for any questions.

• Keep your answers concise, avoid being vague, and steer clear of lengthy anecdotes. It's surprising how many sellers can talk a buyer out of making an offer!

The knack is being helpful and approachable without being overwhelming. And if you haven’t shared your favourite local haunts yet - from strolls to scones to supper - now’s the time!

**WHAT MAKES SECOND VIEWINGS DIFFERENT?**
Second viewings usually last longer than initial visits, allowing buyers to connect with your home more deeply. Expect them to spend more time discussing things like:

• Kitchen appliances and cupboard space, from the washing machine's load capacity to how the overall design suits their day-to-day requirements and habits.

• Where to put their sofa, which room each of their children would have, the best place for a home office, and whether their current dining table will fit or look right.

• Changes they want to make, from cosmetic touches like repainting walls and replacing floor coverings, to larger projects for adding more space or extra value.

The longer a buyer spends in your home, the more likely they are to develop an emotional connection, so make sure your agent allows them enough time to reach that point.

**HOW CAN YOU PREPARE YOUR HOME’S ENCORE?**
A second viewing allows you to boost someone’s initial positive impression and even showcase qualities they didn’t notice before. So take a fresh look at your home to see where you can:

• Maintain or improve the clean, tidy, and inviting feel you presented on the first viewing with a well-ventilated environment of pleasant aromas and a comfortable temperature.

• Address any negative feedback from other viewings. Perhaps showing off more counter space by clearing kitchen worktops, or letting more light in by cleaning the windows?

• Elevate your outside space for al fresco joy. Think stylish and comfy seating with a dining set or easy chairs, then dress with an outdoor rug, cushions, and lighting.

It’s all about making it easy and exciting for someone to make an offer by showing them the wonderful moments and happy memories they could have by making your home, their home.

**OPTIONS FOR INTRODUCING COLOUR**
Whether you’re planning a complete interior makeover or something smaller scale, there are multiple ways to leverage colour and hit the market with an irresistible splash, including:

• Wall coverings. Paint a room in a single colour, liven it up with contrasting tones, add all-over pattern or texture with wallpaper, or go for an eye-catching feature moment.

• Furniture and fabrics. Pick up the colours in sofas and armchairs, or add layers of textiles with rugs, curtains, cushions and bedding.

• Art and accessories. Make your mark with limitless options – think prints, photos, paintings, pottery, metalwork, glassware, plants, books, figurines and more.

From bathing your walls in a new hue to elevating your rooms with designer accents, colour is a powerful and versatile tool for crafting a compelling visual story and an instant connection with buyers.

Do you know which colours can add the most value to your home and speed up your chances of a sale? It's all down to colour psychology.

Buyers make snap, emotional decisions. Whether it's from online photos or during a viewing, colour has a huge impact. It shapes feelings of space, light, warmth… Even desire.

This means that decorating to sell can be a wise investment that pays you back many times over, and the trick is to focus on creating a premium look with the broadest appeal.

With that in mind, let’s explore the world of colour psychology by taking a look at:

• Options for introducing colour
• Building a base with neutrals
• Harnessing earth and jewel tones
• Framing your finest features
• Primary colour pros and cons

By understanding how to work well with colour, you can check where your home is already on point and where you can make some tweaks for maximum impact, a speedy sale, and a price that makes you smile.

**MISGUIDED SELLER BELIEFS**
Like most sellers, you probably love your home. It's a wonderful feeling, but that emotional attachment can lead to a rose-tinted expectation on price when the time comes to move.

While it's completely natural to see your home through a unique lens, it’s also wise to be mindful of the following potential pitfalls:

• Sentimental pricing: The magical memories you’ve accumulated are priceless moments to treasure, but they’re not what a buyer is paying for or what a mortgage provider is lending on.

• Sticky situations: When an owner insists on an inflated asking price and an agent agrees to try it, the result is usually minimal interest, unnecessary delays, and a deteriorating relationship.

• Going stale in public: The portals have created remarkably savvy buyers, exposing homes that are priced too high, showing how long they’ve been stuck, and detailing every price reduction.

The trick is to acknowledge the difference between your valued experiences and your home’s market value, which can be easier said than done but stops you from unintentionally pushing buyers away.

**THE AGENT OVERVALUATION TRAP**
Nothing is sweeter than being told your home could be worth tens of thousands of pounds more than you thought, but it’s crucial to know whether that high valuation is actually achievable.

Unfortunately, one of the easiest (and laziest) ways for agents to get a home on their books is to promise the seller the earth, then change their story later on. Here’s how it works.

• Winning your business: Instead of showing you nearby recent sold prices, an agent gives you a flattering and inflated valuation that plants the seed of selling for a price that's hard to resist.

• Wearing you down: Once you’ve signed on the dotted line, the agent gradually lowers your expectations by claiming that they gave it their best shot, but the market has changed.

• Tying you up: You're locked in with a lengthy agreement that stops you from going elsewhere, effectively forcing you to give the agent an undeserved second chance at a lower price.

As well as being a disappointing experience for you, the overvaluing practice creates a landscape of price reductions that makes it look like homes never sell for their full price.

Fortunately, you can avoid this with some homework. Check the portals for sold prices from the last 3-6 months, and make sure your contract lets you switch agents easily if things don't go to plan.

**PRE-INTERNET THINKING**
The idea that homes never sell for their asking price goes back to the dinosaur days before the internet when the moving process was more opaque. Here's what it looked like:

• Estate Agent Influence: Back then, buyers had to register with agents one by one, and agents chose which homes to show them, dropping hints wherever a seller might take a lower offer.

• Information Gap: House price data as we know it didn’t exist, so sellers had fewer tools to check if the advice they were getting from agents was correct.

• Hidden history: There was no public record of when a property first came on the market or was reduced in price, so it was harder for buyers to tell which homes were sticking.

This has all been disrupted by estate agency websites, property portals and price bands. Buyers can see every home for sale in their price range and how long it's been available without talking to anyone.

Transparency now reigns supreme, which means precision pricing is vital to avoid losing valuable interest, but also that agents’ valuations are easier to understand and challenge.

Do you believe that buyers never pay the asking price? Many sellers feel that way, but it’s not really true.

Most buyers are simply looking for somewhere to live that they love, and the homes that garner the most interest, sell faster, and even get multiple offers are the ones that are correctly priced.

So, where does the asking price myth come from, what can it cost you, and how can you break free? The answers are all right here, so let’s take a look at:

• Pre-internet thinking
• The agent overvaluation trap
• Misguided seller beliefs
• Overblown media messaging
• The right way to get the highest price

There’s plenty to explore, and this week’s blog will help you get that SOLD sign at the highest price your home deserves without unnecessary stress or delays.
