Secret Selling Features in your Area
Let's face it – People want to live in Kelowna and there are bound to be people like you, who would like to live in your neighborhood and will love the same things about your house that you do. There may also be many potential buyers that are not aware of what your location has to offer.
In order to sell, you need to put your home's best foot forward and often that starts by highlighting the best things about your neighborhood.
- Location – Is your neighborhood close to the lake or the ski hill? Does it have sweeping views of Okanagan Lake? How far is it to downtown? To the mall? Does it have a reputation (good or bad)?
- Amenities – Are there stores, pubs, gas stations, restaurants and other services nearby that could help with the appeal of your home? How about recreational opportunities including outdoor and indoor activities nearby?
- Family Friendly – Is the neighborhood family friendly? Does it have a park? Is there a school nearby?
When people begin their search for a new home, they often have ideas about the location where they want to live. Whether they have preconceived notions of a neighborhood, or they are looking for something close to school or work, they may already think they know where they want to live.
That being said, there are a variety of other neighborhoods that could suit their needs, if only they knew. By selling the features in your area, as well as the features of your home, you may be able to take advantage of home buyers that are looking for certain ideals in a neighborhood as well.
For instance, Wilden and Kettle Valley may be comparable in terms of price, family appeal, and amenities, but they are located in completely separate areas of Kelowna. Along the same lines, you could have a very similar home for sale in Rutland and Westbank but again, those locations are on opposite ends of the cities.
When buyers are looking for a home, their Realtor may begin showing them other homes in their price range in other similar locations in order to find the perfect home. This is why when you list your home, you need to not only show off the home itself, but its surrounding area.
