Spring is here and the market is starting to heat up in Maine. If you’re thinking about selling your home, you’ll want to make it as appealing as possible to buyers. Today we are excited to share with you four surprising things that turn buyers off in our market. Here they are:

1. Dirty or crowded houses.

Cleaning and decluttering a home is essential before coming on the market. Buyers want to see your home, not your things.

2. New upgrades for specific tastes.

While upgrading a kitchen can give you a pretty good return, it needs to be done with neutral tones, so it appeals to the highest number of buyers possible.

3. Irrational seller expectations.

Be aware of how your home compares to other homes like it on the market. If you’re overpriced, it can be a disaster.

4. Bad listing photos.

Make sure online listing photos show your home in the best light possible and give a true sense of the space.

These are just a few of the things that buyers don’t want to see here in Maine. If you’re thinking of buying, selling, or investing in real estate, give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you!
