Selling your house is not a piece of cake.

It requires skills, time and resources. Sometimes people spend months and months to sell off a certain property but fail miserably. This happens because without specific checklists and essential factors, it becomes impossible to sell your house in Pakistan. 

This blog brings you a list of things to do when your house is not selling. Go through the content of this piece and see what you can do to sell your house fast in Pakistan.

 

Make repairs:

Nobody likes old worn-out buildings. Broken doors, poor drainage systems, cracked walls may decrease the chances of the house being sold. Before putting your house for sale, make sure that all the repair work has been done. 

This is an essential part because it may increase or decrease the overall value of your house. Minor repairs like new tiles in the bathroom can instantly elevate the overall value of your house. So, make sure you repair all those faucets, leakages etc.

 

Finish off the construction:

Many houses come with unfinished construction. If you want to enhance the appearance of your home, you need to finish off the construction of the building. For example, many places have incomplete grey structures. This factor may decrease the market price of your house. Invest resources in the completion of your house and sell it quickly. 

 

Curb appeal:

They say the first impression is the last impression and Curb appeal is all about first impressions. Curb appeal means the attractiveness of a property and its surroundings when viewed from the street. It is the first thing a potential buyer will notice in your house, so make sure you leave no stone unturned to enhance it.

There are many ways to enhance the property’s curb appeal; for example, you can add suitable tiles to the exterior, or you can also paint the exterior of the house. These things will increase a home’s external appeal, which is highly beneficial for people who are about to sell their house.

Declutter: 

Before inviting potential buyers to your house, make sure that the home is clutter-free. A cluttered house makes everything look stuffy and worn out. Make sure you spend some time decluttering your space. 

If you have things in the house that add no value to your home, either toss them or donate them. For example, if you have extra spare parts or even furniture items lying around in the house, it is time to get rid of them. 

Add neutrals:

Flashy and funky paints and interior may not appeal to potential buyers. To make your house look presentable and appealing to the masses, use neutral colors for painting the walls. You can use creams, beige, off whites to add a luxurious and calming effect to the house. 

Neutral colors also make the space look bigger and brighter. So, try to incorporate these shades into your house for sale in Pakistan and sell your home fast.

Clean up the space:

Before putting your house up for sale, make sure the house is clean and looks presentable. Get rid of stains, garbage and foul odor from home. These things give a terrible impression to the potential buyers and decrease the value of your house. 

Make sure you clean your house well before inviting potential buyers to the house. You can also hire professional cleaners to clean the house in the best way possible.

Fix those lights:

Lights have a significant impact on the mood of the people and the overall look of the house. Places with inadequate lights make the house look dark and shady. At the same time, proper lighting creates the site look bright and soothing. 

Before putting the house for sale, make sure you fix all the lights of the house. Try to invest in lights that use renewable energy sources like solar panels and energy savers. 

Inspection: 

Inspection is crucial for increasing the overall value of your house. Hire professionals who will inspect the space for you and give you your clearance certificate. Small costs like inspection are very fruitful because they increase the house’s value and help make the place more admirable.

Many professionals in Pakistan will inspect you thoroughly and guide you to make your house more safe and secure. 

Add technology: 

Smart homes are the talk of the town. Today, more and more people are becoming interested in smart homes, owing to their multiple advantages. A smart home is equipped with lighting, heating, and electronic devices that can be controlled remotely by smartphone or computer. 

You can add intelligent devices such as fire alarm systems, central air conditioners and glass breakage alarms to your home to make it more convenient and manageable. 

Security: 

Security is the most important thing while buying a house. People prefer places that are safe and secure. To stand out in the crowd, make sure you install security cameras and burglar alarm systems in the house. These features will give you an extra edge in the seller’s market, and you will be able to sell your home quickly. Many security companies in Pakistan can install cameras and alarm systems in your house, that too at very affordable prices.

Roof cracks:

Fix all the cracks and seepages in your house, especially the roof. Any damages and leakages in the top can destroy the walls of the house. It may also destroy the paint of the house and also the wiring of the house. Make sure you treat the roofs before inviting people for the house visit.

Overpricing:

One of the worst things sellers can do is to increase the actual price of the house. Before placing the house for sale, make sure you set a realistic price bracket. It is an age of information and technology. People are well aware of the real estate market and property values. So, to save time, energy and resources, set realistic prices by keeping the market conditions. 

Use different mediums:

“Buyers decide in the first eight seconds of seeing a home if they’re interested in buying it. Get out of your car, walk in their shoes and see what they see within the first eight seconds.” -Barbara Corcoran.

If your house is not selling through traditional methods, try using alternative methods such as online portals and websites. Graana.com is one such example in which you can sell out your real estate projects. 

Use the online marketplace and list your house. In a concise duration of time, several potential buyers will contact you. Also, our professional real estate team will be available to solve your real estate issue.
