7 Mistakes Honolulu Sellers Don’t Want to Make in 2019

If you want to sell your Honolulu house, 2019 is the year to get it done. Home values are continuing to rise slightly and there are still plenty of buyers in the market. If you want to make this the year that you sell, be prepared and avoid making these 7 mistakes.

1.  Pricing too high

Gone are the days of overpricing your house in the hopes of still making a good profit when buyers talk you down. These days, you want to price your house accurately from the start. Honolulu buyers are more educated than ever and they will pass over your house if they think it’s overpriced instead of trying to negotiate with you.

2. Neglecting the exterior

Curb appeal is key. Honolulu sellers need to make sure that your yard is cleaned up and the exterior of your house is well maintained. This is the first thing that potential buyers are going to see as they pull up to your house. You want them to be enticed by the outside so they want to see the inside.

3. Not cleaning up your Honolulu house

Dirty houses look old and dingy. If Honolulu sellers want your house to appeal to buyers then you need to clean it better than you have ever cleaned it before. You want everything to look  as clean as possible. This makes buyers feel good and believe that you have taken good care of the house.

4. Not decluttering

It’s easy to accumulate lots of possessions over the years. But when you’re selling your Honolulu house it’s time to pack up a lot of it.

The only things that should be in your house when you are trying to sell are the things that you actually need while you’re living there and anything that helps the house appeal to buyers. Everything else should be packed up and stored away until you move.

5. Neglecting the smell

It’s easy to become nose blind to how your own house smells. When you’re getting ready to sell ask your real estate agent or a friend that you know will be honest with you, to see if there is an odor in your house that you need to take care of.

6. Sticking with old wallpaper

Yes, there are some styles of wallpaper that are coming back again. But, this is new wallpaper and not the old stuff that you already have on your walls.

If you have wallpaper up right now, it’s time to do the work to take it down and paint your walls.

7. Using bold colors throughout the house

You may personally love bold colors in your Honolulu house. However, you don’t know that it’s what potential Honolulu buyers are going to want in their house. You have spent years turning the house into your home and now you need to spend a little bit of time turning it back into a regular house that will appeal to the masses.

These tips may seem very simple but if Honolulu sellers follow them they will help you sell your house. The trick is that you want your Honolulu house to appeal to the most amount of buyers possible. When you do this you will create interest in your house and hopefully multiple offers.
