The housing inventory is increasing significantly for the first time in years, and although we are still in a sellers market, a higher inventory is leading to a decrease in the number of presentations that each list is receiving.
In the current market, the first impressions are important. Unfortunately for sellers, today's impatient buyers will only spend an average of seven to ten seconds looking at the photos of an online house, which retain tours in person just for those houses that really stand out.
And if that were not enough, add to this, the already unrealistic expectations that many buyers have about how houses should be, thanks to HGTV programming.
So how do you give your best foot when it comes to exhibiting your home online, in the light of these new revelations? There are 4 tips without failures to close the gap between sliding and landing an exhibition.

This photo must be brilliant and present well, which means that its appeal of the sidewalk needs to surprise potential buyers immediately.
A freshly painted front door, bright bulbs in large pots that flank its main door, a beautiful landscape with a fresh mulch and a recently in the entrance path of pressure is very useful to obtain that next slip.
Next, show your most important feature, which is probably the kitchen. From there, flow to the dining room and then in the family hall. Next, show rooms, bathrooms and bonus rooms. Finish with external characteristics and community services.

Do not forget a 3D tour or video to give your home that additional elevator.
Tip #3 The staging is essential
This is where all the hours you have registered watching HGTV will come into play. Use the perfectly staging rooms that are exhibited in the last five minutes of each segment of Turn or flop To guide you as you move through your home, organizing each room.

Board #4 Consider updates with caution
If you have money to spend and want to update your home before the list, be sure to check your real estate agent first. Most likely, they will advise you to consider update your kitchen and bathrooms first, since they are higher in the lists of buyers desires these days.
