TOP TIPS FOR HOW TO SELL YOUR HOME RIGHT NOW



Tip 1: Know what motivates you to sell, sell for you



A lot of people are very much motivated by their personal finances. If you’re selling your big family home, you’re trying to take some of that money out of the bricks and mortar to invest it into potentially an investment property, maybe you’re moving into a smaller property or a retirement village or even shares. Whatever motivates you, you want to get that money out somehow. The only way to get your money out is by selling a prepared home. It allows you to springboard to get that done efficiently and effectively in this market.



Tip 2: When YOU are ready



It's important to sell your home when you're able to make all the decisions and you are the one in control.



That means, if you wait too long, your kids or consultants are having to come in and help you or do it for you. Then you may not get the benefit of that change in the same way, you would have a better retirement if you do it earlier than that scenario and you are able to choose the exact right property at the next step for you.



The last chapter of my book talks about success stories of people who've jumped in and done it. If you can get more out of retirement and you can see that maybe your home is not serving the purpose you bought it for.



Top 3. Present well



Presenting well really comes down to, in my experience, having a look at what you have: Showing off the bits of key pieces of furniture that you love, what looks great at home in your house, and packing up all the memories. 



Top 4. Buy & Sell – remember changeover



Well, I certainly think that no matter what happens, if you’re buying and selling in the same market, say you put your house on the market for sale, you get 10% over what you’re asking chances are, you’re going to have to pay 10% more than what the person selling their unit was asking. It works out to be the same. The good thing about selling a big home right now, and going into something that’s smaller is the gap. Prices of large homes are, as we’ve seen, still being supported by the market. So just trust that if you’re buying and selling in the same market, it’s going serve you well.
