Ready to Sell Your Home in Naples? 3 of Your Real Estate Questions Answered

 

Take a look at the answers to these real estate questions, which may likely be front of mind if you’re looking to sell your home in Naples.

  1. What is a seller’s market?
  2. Should I hire a home stager?
  3. What should be disclosed to buyers?

 

Question #1. What is a seller’s market?

 

A seller’s market means that the demand for homes is greater than the number of properties that are available on the market. This can inspire competing homebuyers to pay over the listing price for homes they love, and lead to bidding wars. A scarcity of properties can ultimately cause home prices to rise, and give sellers the upper hand with buyers when negotiating a deal.

A seller’s market can also help properties to sell more quickly during months that are typically slower, based on locality.

When it comes to Naples, the home values in our city have experienced a months-long upward trajectory, and saw a 9 percent increase in value in February 2023, since the same time last year.

Consistent increases in home values in Naples are yet another example of the city’s mass appeal as a highly-desirable destination for people from all over the world. With Naples’s warm Gulf breezes, sugar-soft white sand beaches, top-notch golfing, the finest in dining and upscale shopping, and lively entertainment—who can blame them?

Question #2. Should I hire a home stager?




It’s a fact that staged homes tend to sell faster and for more money than ones that aren’t staged. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to hire a professional stager. There are simple and effective things you can do to ready your residence so that potential buyers can see all of its possibilities. Check them out:


    

  1. Clearing clutter
    2. 

  2. Painting using neutrals
    3. 

  3. Giving each space a defined purpose
    4. 



1. Clearing Clutter. A critical part of preparing your home to sell is clearing away clutter to create a blank canvas. While the amount and arrangement of items in your home may appear normal to you, spaces that are overly filled will stand out to buyers.


So pare down items in your closets to showcase their spaciousness. This may mean giving away clothes or shoes you no longer wear. Reduce any clutter on kitchen and bathroom counters, and in drawers—inquisitive buyers will check these areas, too. Besides, you want to showoff your home’s storage space. Store away tchotchkes and other personal effects to make sure your rooms look as clutter-free as possible.


2. Painting using neutrals. If you plan to freshen up your interiors with a new coat of paint, consider using neutrals. A neutral palette can help ensure that colors don’t overpower your spaces, or buyers.


3. Giving each space a defined purpose. Each room and space in your home should have a clear purpose. A spare room can be set up as a home office. Transform a window seat into a reading nook using a few well-placed books and a throw. Carve out a breakfast bar using stools and place settings.


It’s okay if you’re unsure or uncomfortable with making some of these decisions about your home. If that is the case, it may be in your best interest to bring in a home stager.

Question #3. What needs to be disclosed to buyers?


 


Your real estate agent will advise you on what needs to be disclosed to potential homebuyers, since disclosure laws can vary from state to state. Common issues that should be shared include: water drainage problems, the presence of pests, lead paint, and neighborhood nuisances.
