\"Your<\/p>\n

One of the biggest concerns for a homeowner looking to sell is the time they\u2019ll have to put in before listing their house. If that\u2019s the case for you, you should know \u2013 your home might be closer to list-ready than you think in today\u2019s housing market<\/strong>. A survey<\/a> of recent sellers from realtor.com<\/em> finds that many were able to get their house ready in less than a month. It says:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWith many homeowners expecting a quick sale, and in many cases a lack of contingencies, the preparation process took less than a month for over 50% of home sellers this past year, with 20% completing it in less than two weeks.<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Those sellers expecting to sell quickly are following recent buyer trends<\/a>. With mortgage rates<\/a> and home prices<\/a> rising, buyers in today\u2019s market are serious about finding a home quickly. But with the limited number of homes for sale, there are very few options<\/a> for those buyers to choose from. That means many may be willing to take on projects after they purchase.<\/p>\n

Because of this, you may be able to focus on less time-consuming tasks before putting your house on the market. According to the survey mentioned above, some of the top things recent sellers completed before listing over the past year include landscaping<\/a>, making minor cosmetic updates, and touching-up paint (see image below)<\/em>:<\/p>\n
