01
Keep the market review precise
Build a comparison from similar nearby properties, noting condition, lot, layout, parking, and current competition. A town-wide number can hide meaningful differences between communities. Ask your agent to explain any sale drawn from farther away.
02
Document improvements and use
Prepare available tax and utility records, permits, and information about major updates. Confirm an addition or advertised use with the applicable municipality if its status is uncertain. Accurate details help buyers assess the home on its own merits.
03
Connect the sale to your next move
Set priorities for repairs, photography, and showing access before choosing a list date. Review the timing of an onward purchase or relocation with your agent and attorney so your plan does not depend on an unconfirmed closing date.
