If you're anticipating selling your smaller-than-average home, do not despair. Buyers these days who are looking in the East Sacramento, Land Park, or Midtown areas are aware that that they may only be able to afford a smaller home. They are also looking for ways to save money on utilities as well as save time on yard work and maintenance.
Your smaller home offers benefits to first-time buyers and those with an eye towards conservation. Be sure to highlight your lower utility costs.
People who are downsizing or buying for the first time want easy maintenance, so you should absolutely list any new appliances or systems you've installed, like heating and/or air, and Energy Star refrigerators, water heaters, and the like. First time buyers are usually accustomed to the landlord fixing any problems, so new appliances still under warranty are very attractive to that segment.
Buyers who are downsizing will be rethinking their space, so make sure you make your rooms look larger and show off your storage space. Cut the clutter, remove some furniture, and let in the light!
One suggestion that I have is to have a home Inspection performed on your property prior to putting it on the market. This way you can be aware of any repairs that may have to be made prior to close of escrow. This will make the negoiations with the buyer and the escrow period a much smoother process.
Have a Happy and Safe Holiday Season,
