Selling a new home sounds easier than selling an old home that need repairs here and there. But even a new home still needs preparation to sell it. We cannot just put a For Sale: new home sign in front of the house and expect the people will come to you and sign the deal. Selling a new home is still the same as selling your own home but the difference is that it does not need lot of preparation as usual.

5 Tips for Selling a New Home

Set-up a Marketing Plan

Since you do not have to spend much time in repairing or improving the house, you can catch up by making a marketing plan to sell the new home. The marketing plan is made to sell a home quickly at the best price. The plan can be advertising in the newspaper, posting your listing on local home selling websites as well as Zillow and Realtor.com, holding an open house and more.

Pricing Your Home for Sale

There are two important factors to remember in selling a new home, they are price and condition. Any home will sell faster if the price is right and reasonable. Local real estate agents can easily pull comps (or comparables) of homes in the area with similar features such as number of bedrooms/bathrooms and square footage.

Timing Your Home for the Quickest Sell

It is also helpful to discuss other terms and conditions, such as timing and items that can be included with the sale of the home. Both of these can make your home more attractive to potential buyers.

Any realtor will tell you that the spring and summer are the best times of the year to sell a home, because that is the time when more buyers are searching to buy.

Selling a house depends on supply, demand and other economic factors. But the time of year in which you choose to sell can make a difference both in the amount of time it takes to sell your home and in the ultimate selling price.

According to the most recent data from the National Association of Realtors, or NAR, about 350,000 transactions were closed during January and February this year, compared with 650,000 to 700,000 a month in June, July and August.

Staging Your New Home

If the home is new, you may want to hire an interior design team that specializes in staging new homes for a quick sell! Interior designers are experts in making homes look attractive, clean, and clutter-free to new buyers. They know how to highlight the homes best features and make use of the home’s living spaces efficiently, yet beautifully.

Plan an Open House

You also should hold open house to sell a new home. You can post the open house time on local classified ads, in the front yard, and in the local newspaper. Create an information sheet (with a photo) about your home to give potential buyers a description about your home.

Selling a new home is not as difficult as you think. Depending on the amount of time you have to invest in the selling of your new home yourself, hiring a local realtor may be helpful.

A local realtor can help with comps, pricing, staging (if needed), listings, taking pictures, and even connecting potential buyers with mortgage lenders! If you are looking to buy/sell/property manage real estate in Utah, contact Spectrum’s real estate/realtor experts today!
