3 Key Reasons Why You Should Sell Your Albuquerque Home

As the year continues, you might be thinking back on your resolutions for 2018. For many homeowners, 2018 has one main goal: to sell their home. If you’ve been wanting to sell your home in Albuquerque, now may be a fantastic time to do so.

To help you keep up with your 2018 goals, we’ve done some research to present to you the 3 key reasons you should sell your home.

Albuquerque’s market favors sellers, making now a wonderful time to get the return on your investment you’ve always hoped for. Let’s dig in.

Spring Awakening

old town signSpring is a great time to sell your home because it’s when buyers are most motivated. Warm weather brings on “spring fever” in real estate, meaning that buyers see the rising temperatures as the perfect time to get out there and find their dream home.

Since Albuquerque has some of the finest weather in the country, almost any time of year is great for selling a home. However, the months leading up to spring remain as a beneficial time to sell.

A Seller’s Market

When low inventory and high demand combine in real estate, it’s known as a seller’s market. That’s exactly what’s happening in Albuquerque. The area continues to be highly sought-after by homebuyers, and it isn’t hard to see why. With excellent public schools, breathtaking natural scenery, and a wide variety of fun things to do, Albuquerque offers a high quality of life.

As a result of current market conditions, average sales prices are steadily increasing.

Fewer Days on Market

As a result, the number of days a home typically spends on market has decreased. In Albuquerque, the median days on market in January was 22 for 2018. In 2017 it was 27.

How to Win Potential Buyers with Your Outdoor Spaces

Now that it’s summertime, outdoor spaces are in high demand on the Albuquerque real estate market. Having a pool, patio, or outdoor kitchen can instantly add value to your property, especially if you know how to market your outdoor space to potential home buyers! These tips can help you show off all that your outdoor entertaining space has to offer — and get you more money for your Albuquerque home at closing.

1. Spruce Up Your Pool, Deck, or Patio

Your backyard doesn’t have to look like HGTV’s Dream Home, but it should look its best when you sell your home. Pull up any weeds, power-wash your patio, and clean off any debris lying on your outdoor furniture.

2. Go the Extra Mile

To truly make your home stand out from the competition, deep clean all the nooks and crannies of your outdoor entertaining spaces. Potential home buyers will take notice of spiderwebs, grease on the grill, or sticky spots on tables and outdoor kitchen counters, so a completely clean outdoor space will help your home make a great first impression.

3. Show Home Buyers How to Use the Space

Home staging isn’t just reserved for your living room. It also applies to your outdoor spaces! Consider defining areas of your patio or pool deck with meticulously placed furniture, tables, or even potted plants. If you have a pool with plenty of space around it, show that the pool deck is the perfect place to soak up the sun or host a dinner party outdoors.

4. Add Any Finishing Touches

You don’t have to break the bank to beautify your outdoor spaces. Instead, focus on small details that will make a big difference. Here are a few finishing touches to consider:

  • Buy new furniture coverings, especially if your current coverings are old and faded from the sun.
  • Add potted plants for a splash of color in your backyard.
  • Edge the grass around your patio or pool deck.
  • Upgrade your outdoor lighting to create that “wow!” effect in person and in your listing photos.
