When you\u2019re selling your home<\/a>, have your home staged, and begin showing it, it\u2019s important to understand what potential buyers are really paying attention to. At the end of the day, you are selling<\/em> your home, and therefore, guidelines that pertain to sales in general truly apply. Here are 5 things potential home buyers notice when touring a home, and ways you can make sure as a seller that you\u2019ve addressed them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How they feel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They may be trying to hide it and may hide it\nwell, but ultimately, home buyers are really taking note of how they feel when\nthey enter and look at your home. This has a lot to do with how they make their\nfinal decision, even though they will go through many, many points to validate\ntheir decisions – which is totally reasonable, and okay, but something to keep\nin mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any validating fact about your home – such as\nthe walk score, crime rate, school system, points of interest, will all fall\nshort if the home buyer just doesn\u2019t quite feel right in your house. However –\nfor a home buyer who does<\/em> feel at\nhome there, all of these facts will greatly help their decision-making process.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep this in mind when you\u2019re showing your\nhome. These facts are very powerful based on how the homebuyer feels, and when\nit feels right, they are looking for you to give them these facts to quickly\nvalidate their decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much value your home offers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Basic selling guidelines will tell you that\npeople make purchases based on the value relative to the price. So, while you\nhave a home buyer in your home looking around and your asking price is in their\nbudget, what they are really looking for at that point is value – the\nintangibles, how your home gives value to their and their family\u2019s day-to-day\nlives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember: home buyers are looking at homes all\nin the same price range as your home because that is what is in their budget,\nso the only differentiating factor at that point is value, not price. There\u2019s a\nbig difference. If you can stage your home to add value, say, by making it\nclear that they will be able to make valuable memories in the home (again, the\nintangibles) whether that be outside by a firepit, or an incredible kitchen\ntable area, or a large backyard for them to play with their dog – whatever it\nis, they are looking for that intangible value when they see your home for the\nfirst time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of this is luck, and some of this is\ncommon sense as far as what intangibles are valuable to people\u2019s lives. Make a\nlist of what it is you know for certain will add value experience-wise, and\nmake sure these assets are made clear during your showing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, you can also add more value\nto your home by lowering the price point. If you use a site that will refund\nyou on commission like beycome<\/a>,\nyou have a better chance of having the ratio of value to the price point for\nyour home working out in your favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What problems they can find – and\nthey\u2019re looking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Naturally suspicious, as they should be, home\nbuyers are coming in with smiles on their faces but their eyes are looking\naround suspiciously to find whatever is \u201cwrong\u201d with your home. Don\u2019t take it\npersonally, and realize it\u2019s just part of the process! If you see this for what\nit is, it will be easier to get past and relieve a lot of tension – but no\nmatter what you do, a home buyer will be looking for whatever is critically\nwrong with your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A buyer will be looking to see whether or not\nthey feel like you are hiding massive issues with the home\u2019s infrastructure or\nnot, and they will be asking questions and looking around to see if they can\nspot anything on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some things they will take note of in this\nregard will be the roof, the paint jobs inside and outside of your home,\nwhether or not the toilets are flushing and sinks are working, and they may\neven turn on and turn off some or all of the lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most will do this mid-sentence, sort of\ncasually, but this is an important step towards a home buyer feeling\ncomfortable with your home. And while their suspiciousness will likely follow\nthem all the way to closing, managing it is key!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How pushy you are being<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, you cannot force anyone to purchase anything, and this includes your home. A home buyer will be looking to see how pushy you are being; furthermore, this goes along with the above point about their suspiciousness. Consequently, present the home with the facts and, in addition, leave room for the buyer to get a sense of it themselves. Ultimately, be sure to definitely give them room to ask questions. The pushier you are, the more the buyer will feel like you aren\u2019t trying to help them, but either cheat them, trick them, or just get to the bottom line. While it is a sale, it\u2019s also something very important to the buyer – after all, it is their future home – so they will only buy from someone who they feel truly understands that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether they can \u201csee\u201d themselves\nliving there<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Home buyers need to be able to imagine themselves inside the walls of your home. They will notice and won\u2019t appreciate if it\u2019s staged to look like they just entered your house – not a home that can be theirs. Staging your home appropriately is largely about keeping it simple enough but not so simple that it\u2019s barren. Remove all obvious items that are very personal to you, or at least take them out of plain view. Home buyers are looking at things that might not necessarily be only physical – after all, if they are entering your home to see it in person, they already know the number of bathrooms and bedrooms. The basics need to be covered – keep the place clean, simple, and inviting, but keeping these tips in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
