How to Sell Your House in 5 Days Flat: Quick Tips and Creative Techniques
2 min read
Life is always one event away from major change. A job relocation, financial problems, divorce, a new baby, or other pressing motivation could mean you need to sell your house fast — let’s say, 5 days flat. Is this type of lightning-quick sale possible?
Depending on the market, homes take anywhere from 18 to 49 days or longer to get a signed purchase contract. So if you’re able to get an offer in a fraction of that time, you’ll be overcoming some pretty steep odds. However, it’s not unheard of for properties to go under contract in 5 days or less — if the seller can find or create the right equation.
“For a quick sale, the most important thing is making your home the home that everybody wants to buy. That’s it!” advises Lisa Hudson, part of the top-performing Toril Schoepfer team that works with nearly 70% more single-family homes than the average agent in their Washington State market. “Real estate is like psychology. It’s being strategic about launching your home and making sure it garners a lot of interest.”
Hudson explains that to get buyers to want your home and want it now, you need to execute its pricing, marketing, and timing perfectly. We’ve rounded up the hottest tips for hitting all these notes, so you can learn how to sell your house in 5 days flat.
