  10 Ways to Make Your House More Salable……. 

1.      Get rid of clutter. Throw out or file stacks of newspapers and magazines. Pack away most of your small decorative items. Store out-of-season clothing to make closets seem roomier. Clean out the garage.  

2.      Wash your windows and screens to let more light into the interior.  

3.      Keep everything extra clean. Wash fingerprints from light switch plates. Mop and wax floors. Clean the stove and refrigerator. A clean house makes a better first impression and convinces buyers that the home has been well cared for.  

4.      Get rid of smells. Clean carpeting and drapes to eliminate cooking odors, smoke, and pet smells. Open the windows.  

5.      Put higher wattage bulbs in light sockets to make rooms seem brighter, especially basements and other dark rooms. Replace any burnt-out bulbs.  

6.      Make minor repairs that can create a bad impression. Small problems, such as sticky doors, torn screens, cracked caulking, or a dripping faucet, may seem trivial, but they’ll give buyers the impression that the house isn’t well maintained.  

7.      Tidy your yard. Cut the grass, rake the leaves, trim the bushes, and edge the walks. Put a pot or two of bright flowers near the entryway.  

8.      Patch holes in your driveway and reapply sealant, if applicable.  

9.      Clean your gutters.  

10.  Polish your front doorknob and door numbers.

You can have some of this FABULOUS weather too but you better hurry.  Paradise is selling fast! 

There are currently:

• 2414 single family homes for sale in Cape Coral, FL
• 1402 homes have sold in the past three months

 That leaves us with an absorption rate of: 5.1 months  

What does that mean? 

Let’s say that not another house went on the market.  How long would it take to sell the existing inventory?  Only 5.1 months…. 

Rule of thumb:

• A ‘normal’ real estate market (if there is such a thing) has an absorption rate of 6%
• When is it a buyers market?  When the absorption rate is over 6 %
• When is it a sellers market?  When the absorption rate is under 6%

 The tide has turned…but the deals are still available.  But  RUN don’t walk…..
