Keys for Buying and Selling when the Market is slow

It's a whole new world for home sellers. So, how do you make your house stand out so it will sell when sales are slow?
Curb appeal. After pricing, nothing will bring more potential buyers into your home than a house with outstanding curb appeal. Take a walk down your street with a critical eye. How does your home stack up from the outside? If it doesn't stand out from the rest then it's time to get to work.
Consider home staging. The quickest way to add value to a home for sale is a fresh coat of paint. After that, you may want to consider home staging-either do it yourself or hire an outside firm. A home staging professional will come in and take away some furnishings and rearrange others to make your home show better and to make it home more appealing to prospective buyers.
