Creative Ways to Sell Your Home

Beltman BlogA recent survey by the National Association of Realtors showed that the housing market is following its yearly trend: fewer houses are on the market in the winter time, and sales are slowing significantly. While there may be fewer buyers in the market for a new home this season, that doesn’t mean you can’t still sell your home for a good price. Consider getting creative when thinking about ways to sell your home.

Make your own website. Build-your-own website options are all over the place these days. Sites like WordPress and Squarespace make it easy to create a slick, professional website even if you don’t have any previous experience. Sure, it’ll cost you a few extra man hours, but the payoff could be well worth it when people can have a dazzling e-tour of your home.

Post your property on Craigslist. Granted, you have to screen your showings a little more carefully, but Craigslist gets over 50 billion page views on their website every month. Those are some stats you just can’t ignore. Who cares where your buyer ends up seeing the home, after all? Being willing to be a little creative and liberal with where you post your home for sale online will only increase potential buyers.

Get creative with your “For Sale By Owner” marketing. If you’re trying to sell the house yourself, go beyond the typical FSBO marketing. That generic red sign in the yard just doesn’t cut it these days. Invest in a nice, eye-catching (but classy) sign, and be sure to put out some well-designed one-sheets with all the house’s important info. You can also add some spice to your open houses. Put on some nice music like jazz or classical, light a popular scented candle, and make even bake some cookies. Just be sure not to burn them!
