What? The words used to describe your home may affect the sale of your home?
Recently there has been a lot of attention paid to advertising words and their affect on the final sale price of a home for sale. Western New York home sellers should pay attention to this when advertising their homes for sale. Here is a brief list of words that could have a negative effect on your home for sale:
- Motivated seller
- Foreclosure
- Good value
- As-is
- Clean
- Must sell
Words that help with the sale of your home include:
- Beautiful
- Gorgeous
- Gourmet
- Landscaping
- Move-in condition
- Handyman special
It appears that the best thing that sellers can do is state the facts and don’t overly state them. Real-estate listings, not unlike personal ads, are crafted to minimize blemishes and maximize perceived selling points.
