Is An Open House Good For Your Key West Home?


The debate over whether open houses are beneficial has been going on for years now. The real question should be, is your Key West home perfect for an open house?  Some reports show that holding an open house is great for selling your home. However some also say that while it doesn’t hurt the sale of your home, it also does not help it. Here are some ways to make your open house great!

The first thing a buyer sees when walking into your home is the outside. What kind of curb appeal does your home have? Some simple maintenance helps considerably! Make sure your yard is weed free. Also, landscaping your home is great, but make sure there is a clear entry way to the house. Don’t let plants and flowers block a walk way. The quicker a buyer gets into your home, the quicker they will fall in love with it.

The little things matter too. Whether it is a room that has mismatching outlet covers, or a dab of paint on the ceiling, buyers look at these things as flaws. You need to make your home match, and orderly. Usually these fixes can be made quickly and cheaply. 

Make your home more welcoming. Key West real estate is great for anyone, and having a warm feeling in your home will make buyers want to stay longer. A brochure about your home is a great touch, so as they walk from room to room they can read and see all of its features. Also, this will be a great reminder of your home once they leave. For those that come with kids, maybe provide some kid friendly activities! Something that is mess free such as crayons and scratch paper work perfectly.  Another great touch is adding music, usually something classical and on a low volume works best.

Brighten up your home. Opening the blinds in every room will let the sun shine in, and will make your home feel cozy and inviting. Pushing apart the curtains will make the room feel bigger and will accentuate its features.  Another way to brighten your home is to turn lamps on! Having some extra light will show off an area of the room that may be hard to see. 

Overall, hosting an open house can be in your favor, if you take the time and see your Key West home from a buyers point of view.
