You’ve depersonalized, decluttered and rearranged—now it’s time to really get moving. Whether buyers are searching for Indian Wells real estate or equestrian homes in the Coachella Valley, there are certain things you can do to increase the appeal of your property as you prepare it for sale. Now is the time to replace and repair some of the items in your home.
If there are specific items in your home that you love or are very attached to, this is the perfect time to remove them. For example, there might be a chandelier that has sentimental value, or perhaps you really like those curtains you installed when you moved in. If that’s the case, remove them now before your house is shown to prospective buyers. The last thing you want to do is show the house with that item in it and have the buyer fall in love with it themselves! Replace those items with something that looks equally attractive, and no one will ever know the difference.
Another major component of your property that may need to be replaced in certain areas is carpeting or flooring. While you probably don’t want to make a large expenditure at this stage, if there is a room where the carpeting or the flooring is damaged beyond repair, you may want to simply replace it. Permanently stained carpeting can dissuade even the most eager buyer from purchasing your otherwise lovely Indian Wells real estate property.
If you’re selling a property that falls into a unique category, such as equestrian homes, assess specific areas with the same mindset. If there is something in particular in the barn or stables that you can’t live without, remove it and replace it before anyone sees the property.
