If your goal is to sell your house in 2025, now’s the time to start prepping. Even though it might seem like there’s plenty of time between now and the new year, you should get a head start on any updates or repairs you want to make now. By starting your prep work early, you’ll give yourself plenty of time to get your house market-ready by the end of the year. As your listing agent, I can help you get started, so you'll have expert insight into what repairs are worth it based on the local market.
Why Starting Early Is Key
One of the best ways to get the best price and sell quickly is to make sure your home looks its best. And that may mean making necessary repairs, decluttering, and even consider updates that could add value as part of getting your house ready to list. I have three decades of experience in helping to prepare property for presentation and I also have an A-team of recommended vendors to work with in decluttering, repairs, painting, cleaning and staging.
By starting now, tasks can be tackled one at a time. Whether it’s fixing that leaky faucet, refreshing your landscaping, or painting a room, getting an early start gives you the flexibility to do the job right and with as little stress as possible. Because, if you wait to knock items off your list later on, they could quickly stack up and get overwhelming.
Don’t wait until the last minute to get it ready. By getting a head start now, you can ensure everything is in place by the time the new year rolls around. Need advice on what to tackle first? Let’s connect!
