6 Factors that Determine the Best Cash Offer on Your Home

1. Reason for Selling

It is often more emotional to sell a home than to buy a home, and the reason for selling your home may be a determining factor in the urgency of the sale. The urgency may also have an effect on the price of the property.

It is essential to take the following factors that can influence the sale of your home into consideration:

• Reason for selling
• Price
• Location
• Size
• Accessibility

2. Location

Although you cannot do anything about the location of your property, it plays a very important part in the marketability of your home. So, it is important to take the following into consideration:

• Is your property priced in relation to other offers in your area?
• What type of neighborhood is your property located in – well-established, up-and-coming, transitional?
• Is your property located in an urban or rural area?

3.  Accessibility

Accessibility can be a major issue that influences the price potential home buyers are willing to pay.  Again, you cannot do anything about your home’s accessibility to specific things, but it does play a role in the price of your property. Your agent will work with you to highlight the places of interest that are most accessible to your home.

Here are a few important areas to think about:

• Public transportation
• Main roads
• Shopping centers
• Schools and other educational institutions
• Outdoor areas – public pools, parks, playgrounds
• Entertainment

4. The Cost of Selling

It is very important to first calculate the expenses that will be incurred while selling your home. This knowledge is absolutely necessary because it helps you to determine a reasonable price for the house, as well as the potential profit that you can realize.

The cost of selling your home may include things like commission to be paid to the agent, taxes, advertising costs, or specific reports, such as a property inspection.

5. Showing Your Home

Enjoy having strangers over to look through your house while you’re not around? Are you able to vacate the property when and if it’s being shown to prospective buyers?

Plain and simple: You’ll get more a ton more showings if you let agents use a lockbox to show your home rather than force them to make appointments. But that might feel a little invasive and uncomfortable.

Keep in mind that your home will show better if you sell in spring rather than in winter.  Also, selling during the holidays will likely result in a lower sales price.

Prepare for an open house but use this approach sparingly. Ask for buyer feedback so you can adjust your price, condition, or marketing campaigns accordingly.

6. Negotiate Requests for Repairs

You don’t ordinarily have to accept a buyer’s request to make repairs, but he can cancel the contract if you don’t. A buyer might accept a closing cost credit instead if you choose not to make repairs. You’re entitled to a copy of the home inspection report if the buyer requests repairs.

If you’re not willing to or don’t have the money to make repairs, you should consider the cost of repairs a buyer will have to pay in order to update the house to new condition.
