It’s not uncommon for homeowners to wonder what goes through the minds of people when potential buyers come to visit their homes. Finding the answer to this question is important as it can help to know what the buyer wants. This can help the seller to drive the negotiation in their favour.
Needless to say, when you put up your home for viewing, interested buyers and their agents are going to inspect everything. People are going to come up with scrutiny and point out even the most minor problems just to get the price down. The case is the same for tenants as well as buyers. Problems with the location, the property’s architecture, the doors and walls, paint, sanitation and sewage, etc. are common pointers to talk about.
For example, if someone wants to buy property in Thane, they’re going to point out its accessibility to the main city. They are going to try and negotiate the price based on the fact that it’s far from central Mumbai. In such a case, a knowledgeable seller will turn things around by telling them about the metro lines that will make Thane accessible.
Coming back to what goes on in the minds of potential home viewers, these are some of the major things they think when viewing a home:
Study shows that sellers always spend a lot of time on cleaning surfaces and floors to make their home look tidy. However, as per the findings, the interested buyers always focus on the ceiling and the walls after giving the floor a quick glance. Needless to say, the ceiling and features such as the cornicing shouldn’t have cobwebs, seam or stains.
Arguably it is the most important part of the house in terms of appeal and inspection. No matter how many bathrooms you have, they all need to be in perfect condition.
People are going to check the water flow, bathtubs and signs of damages to it along with the sink. Bathroom tiles that are damaged should be replaced as well. That’s because this can lead to a lot of infestation and hygiene problems as well.
Decluttering is very important if you want the viewers to imagine the place as their own. With a lot of stuff lying around, viewers have a tough time thinking of how they would set up their new home. Move the furniture to the corners that aren’t as pleasant as the rest of the house.
The paint as well as the illumination of the house show viewers how the lifestyle would be.
Since most people don’t want to make a lot of changes, it’s best to have the décor to the minimum. You should go for something generic instead of very specific. That means you should use simple colour schemes and try not to paint or decorate a wall that appeals to a certain aesthetic. Moreover, the lighting should be ideal in terms of illuminating the main parts of the house. Using plants in front of windows is a great idea to set a nice decoration as well as scent around the house.
There you have it! If you are putting up your flats for sale in Thane West, focus on the aforementioned factors and you will be able to sell them off at higher prices.
