Pricing, preparation & timing tips for maximizing your sale

With prices high and inventory tight, many Delco homeowners are asking:

📌 Should I sell now or wait?
📌 How do I price my home correctly?
📌 What fixes or upgrades are worth doing before listing?

Let’s simplify it.

📌 How to Price Your Home Right

Pricing depends on:

• Recent comparable sales
• Local demand
• Condition
• School district
• Days-on-market trends
• Competition in your neighborhood

Overpricing → fewer showings & price drops
Underpricing → leaving money on the table

Correct pricing should attract multiple interested buyers, not just one.

📌 What Prep Gives the Biggest Return

Before going on the market, consider:

• Fresh paint (neutral)
• Deep cleaning
• Carpet replacement or floor refinishing
• Exterior power wash / curb appeal touch-ups
• Decluttering spaces & surfaces
• Staging key rooms

You don’t have to renovate — just present the home in its best light.

📌 Should You Sell Now or Wait?

Sell now if:

• You want to take advantage of high demand in your area
• You’re moving anyway due to life changes
• Your home is already updated or move-in ready

Wait if:

• You’re not emotionally ready
• You need time to make repairs
• You’re still building equity after a recent purchase

Either way, timing shouldn’t be rushed — strategy matters most.
