Facing the reality that we’re not getting any younger, there comes a time for Baby Boomers to sell their homes. To appeal to today’s largest purchasing group, millennials, who are in their twenties and thirties, consider the following tips:
- Pre-Inspection: Have your home pre-inspected as a seller to identify necessary improvements before listing it on the market.
- Home Warranty: Invest in a home warranty to reassure buyers that they won’t face major repair expenses during their first year of homeownership.
- Modernizing Decor: If your home decor is outdated, offer a credit for repairs, allowing buyers to customize the property to their liking.
- Lighten and Brighten: Clean windows, update light fixtures, and apply a fresh coat of neutral paint to create a brighter and more inviting atmosphere.
- Highlight Neighborhood Amenities: Showcase nearby amenities such as recreational facilities, shops, gyms, and restaurants to attract buyers interested in a vibrant community.
- Declutter: Eliminate clutter to give the house an open and flowing feel, creating a more spacious and appealing environment.
- Drone Tours: If possible, utilize drone tours of the property and neighborhood as modern selling tools, providing a unique perspective for potential buyers.
- Smart Home Features: Integrate smart home features like wireless security, smart bulbs, water sensors, smart locks, and remote-controlled shades to appeal to tech-savvy buyers.
