Before your home is listed, decide which preparations will help it show clearly and which showing times you can reliably accommodate. A manageable plan is better than a rushed promise. I would settle those details before photographs and home visits begin.
For Norwalk single-family homes and condos, the latest market report puts housing supply, measured in months, at 1.72. The typical time on market for homes that sold was 29 days. The number of homes sold in the latest market report was 64 for that property group. Those homes sold for an average of 104.75% of their asking prices; that average does not describe the result of every sale.
Marketing time is not a promise about when your home will sell or when a transaction would close. Likewise, the average percentage of asking price that homes sold for cannot tell us whether preparation affected any particular sale. Clear rooms, accurate photographs and workable times for home visits are still sensible priorities because they help buyers assess your home.
Walk through each room and decide what to repair, remove or clean before photographs are taken. Choose times the home can be shown that you can sustain, including how much notice you need. Review the finished photographs and listing details with me so buyers receive a clear account of the property.
