Prepare your home for showings by resolving essential repairs and practical scheduling first. Selling involves your daily routine as well as your property, and I want the preparation plan to be workable before photographs and visits begin.
The latest market report covers Commack single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments. The number of homes listed for sale in the latest market report was 32. Housing supply, measured in months, was 1.88. The typical time on market for homes that sold was 30 days, which measures marketing time rather than time to closing.
These figures provide market context, but they do not establish the preparation work your home needs. I would prioritize clear presentation and reliable times the home can be shown over changes made solely for appearance. A manageable schedule helps you plan visits without assuming the reported marketing time predicts your own sale.
Walk through the home with me to separate repairs needing attention from optional cosmetic work. Finish the preparation you choose before photographs so the listing accurately represents what buyers will see. Set showing times and notice requirements that you can maintain, then decide how you will accommodate requests.
