First Impressions Count when Selling your Home

Are you looking to sell your home in Peterborough quickly, and for the best possible price? Then you need to focus on first impressions. Just like first impressions count when you go for an interview, first impressions count for your home too. Think of it like your home having an interview, as the future home of the potential buyer. 

In this blog post we share tips for creating a great first impression to potential homebuyers in Peterborough. Making a great first impression will help you sell your home faster, and for an even better price too.

The Outside 

Your home needs to look inviting as soon as the buyers arrive. This means that the outside of your home will need a little bit of TLC. Tidy up the hedges and front lawn. If your front door is looking a little tired, give it a quick lick of paint. Put a house number on your front door if you don’t have one. A colourful hanging basket placed outside is a great way of making a strong first impression too. Move bins out of sight so the driveway and front of your home looks clean and clear.

The Entrance Hall

The entrance hall is the first part of the inside of your home a potential buyer will see. Make sure it gives viewers the best possible first impression. Your entrance hall should be light, airy and clutter free. Replace lightbulbs in this area from yellow to white, as this will brighten and lighten the space. Make sure shoes and coats are out of sight, along with school bags, sports bags, etc. Installing a large mirror in your entrance hall will help reflect light and make the space look bigger. A vase of flowers is a nice addition too as they smell nice and look lovely too.

The Kitchen

The kitchen is one of the rooms that the buyer will be most interested in. They want something that looks big and spacious. If you have any large kitchen equipment, move it out of the way. Maybe place a bowl of fresh fruit on the counter. Brewing coffee before they arrive creates a lovely smell in the room too. If you have under lights in the kitchen, pop these on too. This will help you to show off the true potential of the home.

The Bathroom

Your bathroom will be the other room of interest to buyers. We all know what bathrooms and toilets are used for. However, we don’t want them to smell like that. Place a light air freshener in the room so it smells fresh. Have your fluffiest towels on display and your fancy bath products too. This will create the feeling of luxury and relaxation, which homebuyers in Peterborough want from the bathroom in their new home.

These are just four of the many ways that you can create a great first impression to help you home sell quicker and for a better price too. Want help selling your home in Peterborough?
