What’s Available Now?

We know all about the struggle of trying to maximise the sale price of your home when looking to upgrade as a Young Family, having gone through this process recently ourselves! You deserve to squeeze every last penny out of your home, and we are here to help you do just that.

We have compiled a guide with all the strategies we used ourselves to ensure that our home sold at it’s maximum value and that we got the best return possible for our investment. We hope that you can use these steps to the same effect!

Prepare Your Property:

  • Clean and Declutter: Start by thoroughly cleaning and decluttering your home. A clean and clutter-free space looks more appealing to potential buyers.
  • Minor Repairs: Address any minor repairs or maintenance issues. Fix leaky faucets, replace broken tiles, and touch up paint where needed.
  • Curb Appeal: Enhance your home’s curb appeal by maintaining the front garden, planting flowers, and ensuring the exterior looks inviting.

Stage your Home:

Consider professional home staging services. We have seen time and again that staged homes tend to sell faster and at higher prices. Stagers can help arrange furniture and decor to highlight your home’s best features.

Set the Right Price:

Look into the market for similar properties in your area with the help of a local real estate agent like ourselves to determine the appropriate listing price. Pricing your home competitively can attract more potential buyers.

Market Effectively:

  • Utilise professional real estate photography and create an appealing listing with detailed descriptions for the local property market. Include high-quality images in online listings and print materials. There are many homes for sale in Naas, so ask yourself how you are going to Market ahead of your competition.
  • Leverage social media and online platforms to market your property to a wider audience. Get listed with a trusted Real Estate Agent like MM Ward, who can promote through their Social Media and other channels.
  • Consider hosting open houses and private showings to allow prospective buyers to experience the property firsthand. We have seen this as a key selling point when buying a home in Naas.

Work with an Experienced Local Real Estate Agent:

We would say that, wouldn’t we? We really can’t stress enough how useful it is to work with a trusted realtor who specialises in your area. Estate Agents like ourselves can provide valuable insights, Irish property market knowledge, and negotiation skills to help you get the best price.

Highlight Key Features:

Emphasise the features that are likely to appeal to other young Irish families, such as nearby schools, family-friendly areas such as parks, lakes etc., and child-safe amenities. Put yourself in the shoes of the home buyer and ask yourself what would you like most about this home?

Consider Home Improvements:

If your budget allows, consider strategic home improvements or upgrades that can increase your home’s value on the Irish Property market. This might include kitchen or bathroom upgrades, energy-efficient features, or landscaping improvements. What you put in can really multiply in what you get out of the sale.

Check if you are eligible for house upgrade grants. Check what home improvement grants are available in Ireland – you may get a pleasant surprise! For example, windows update grants can help by bringing your energy efficiency levels up to give you a home energy upgrade. This can help you command a significantly higher price and is a key selling point recently.

Highlight Future Potential:

If your property offers significant potential for expansion or renovation, mention this in your listing. Young families often appreciate the opportunity to customise their new home. Also, do not be shy about mentioning it if your home is in an area that is growing in demand and seeing rising house prices!

Timing the Sale:

Consider the season and market conditions when timing your sale. Spring, early summer and September/ October tend to be popular times to sell. If more people are moving, homes can tend to demand a higher price.

Pre-inspection:

Consider getting a pre-listing home inspection. This can identify and address potential issues before they become obstacles during negotiations. This small investment can save you a lot of hassle and money over the course of the selling period.

Remember that every real estate market is unique, and local conditions can vary. Consulting with trusted real estate professionals is crucial to creating a customised strategy that suits your specific situation and market conditions. Our customers have been trusting in MM Ward for over 17 years now, and we have come to know our local Market of Naas and the surrounding areas to an unmatched level in this time. Let us use this local knowledge and experience to help you get the maximum possible return on your investment.
