Central Ohio Home Sellers
We’re still in a Seller’s Market in Central Ohio, and home values are in a long term uptrend.
If you are ready to sell your Columbus home soon, now is the time to start preparing, especially with decluttering and spring cleaning if you’re stuck at home. Get in touch with us about preparing your home for the market. An expert agent is the best person to help you decide which updates to consider and how much to spend. You want your home to be move-in ready for buyers, but you don’t want to go overboard with updates and improvements that eat into your profits. Deep cleaning ALWAYS helps a home sell.
Buyer demand may be delayed in the short term. But, once we get past this healthcare crisis (and we will), buyers will be back out buying homes. Whatever the market conditions are when you list your home, it’s very important that you do not overprice it.
