Spring is here!

The Spring Real Estate Market is thriving, and we are seeing a significant increase in demand for homes in Voorhees, especially from millennials.

In fact, the current absorption rate in our area is only 3 months, which means that if no more homes come on the market, we will only be able to sustain the current demand for up to 3 months.

This is great news for anyone considering selling their home, as the high demand can lead to a boost in your bottom line.

If you are thinking about selling your home, now is the perfect time to do so. To get started, it's essential to focus on your curb appeal, which can significantly impact the value of your property. That's why we've put together a helpful checklist to help you get started.

Friendly reminder: Before you make a repair, be sure to check with a real estate agent to make sure it is worth your return on investment. Feel free to Book A Call with me if you have any questions or want a free consultation!

5 Tips for Selling Your Home in the Current Real Estate Market

May 22, 20232 min read

Selling real estate in any market can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can increase your chances of success. Here are five tips for sellers in the current real estate market in Northern Maryland:

5 Tips for Selling Your Home


  1. Price competitively: In a competitive market, pricing your property correctly is crucial. Conduct a thorough analysis of recent sales and market trends in your area to determine a realistic and attractive listing price. Consider consulting with a local real estate agent who has expertise in the Northern Maryland market to help you set the right price.

  2. Enhance curb appeal: First impressions matter, so make sure your property looks appealing from the outside. Boost your curb appeal by tidying up the front yard, planting flowers, painting the front door, and ensuring the exterior is well-maintained. This will attract potential buyers and make them more likely to schedule a showing.

  3. Stage your home: Proper staging can make a significant difference in attracting buyers and getting higher offers. Depersonalize your space by removing personal items and clutter, and consider hiring a professional stager who can arrange your furniture and decor to highlight your home's best features. This allows buyers to envision themselves living in the space.

  4. Leverage online marketing: The majority of homebuyers begin their search online, so it's essential to have a strong online presence. Hire a professional photographer to capture high-quality images of your property and create a compelling listing description. Utilize popular real estate websites and social media platforms to showcase your home to a wider audience.

  5. Work with a knowledgeable agent: Partnering with a skilled real estate agent who knows the Northern Maryland market can be invaluable. An experienced agent can provide valuable insights, guide you through the selling process, negotiate on your behalf, and help you navigate any challenges that arise. They can also assist with marketing and promoting your property effectively.

Remember that the real estate market can fluctuate, so staying informed and adapting your strategy as needed is crucial. Keep an eye on market trends, adjust your pricing strategy if necessary, and be responsive to feedback from potential buyers and your agent.
