Selling Your Home? 3 Key Terms To Include In Your Listing

Posted on: 18 July 2018

Whether you are ready to upgrade or downsize or you are moving to an entirely new part of the state or country, selling your home may be on your agenda. Unfortunately, selling your home can be an overwhelming task, especially if you are hoping to sell quickly and for a good profit. Thankfully, a great listing will make your home more appealing, increasing the number of showings and interested buyers you have. This guide will teach you a few key terms to include in your listing when selling your home.

Impeccable/Turnkey

A home that is in great condition or has been recently renovated will be appealing to buyers. However, a home that is "impeccable" tells buyers the home is in more than great condition.

The term, "impeccable," increases a potential buyer's interest, making them more likely to schedule a showing. In addition, they may be willing to pay more for a home that is in this type of excellent condition. Adding the term, "turnkey," is also helpful, since it tells potential buyers your home is both impeccable and move-in ready.

Of course, it is important that your home LOOKS and FEELS like it is in impeccable condition when potential buyers come to see your property.

Landscaped/Landscape Design

You may think the interior features of your home are most important, but that is not necessarily true. Buyers will be more attracted and more likely to pay more for a home that has been professionally landscaped.

In some instances, landscape design can offer you an estimated 150 percent return on your investment. This increases the value of your home dramatically, but it will also make your home stand out from other homes on the market.

Some of your landscape design may be featured in the photos used in your listing, but it is smart to include the terms notifying a potential buyer that your home was landscaped in a professional and valuable manner.

Energy Efficient

Another term that will make your home and listing more appealing is "energy efficient." Today, more and more buyers are interested in homes that align with their eco-friendly lifestyles and some buyers just want to buy a home that is efficient, which will help them reduce their monthly energy bills.

Energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, appliances, windows, water heaters, and even roofing materials will increase the appeal and value of your home. Incorporating this keyword into one or more areas of your listing will ensure buyers take note that your home is a smart buy because of how it conserves energy in various ways.
