1. Price It Right from the Start

Pricing is one of the most critical factors in selling your home quickly. Overpricing can lead to a stagnant listing, while underpricing may leave money on the table.

🔹 Use a market analysis tool like our market snapshot to see how similar homes in your area are priced.
🔹 Work with an Idaho real estate expert to determine a competitive and realistic price.
🔹 Consider pricing slightly below market value to attract multiple offers and create a bidding war.

2. Use Professional Photography & Video

First impressions matter—and for most buyers, that first impression happens online. High-quality visuals can make or break your listing.

📸 Why professional photography is a must:
✔ Homes with professional photos sell 32% faster than those with amateur photos.
✔ Listings with video tours receive 403% more inquiries than those without.
✔ Drone photography helps showcase acreage properties and stunning Idaho landscapes.

3. Write a Compelling Listing Description

Your home’s listing description should do more than just state the basics. It should create a story that buyers can connect with.

✅ Highlight unique selling points (e.g., "Enjoy breathtaking Boise foothill views from your private backyard.")
✅ Use powerful adjectives to evoke emotion (e.g., "cozy", "luxurious", "spacious")
✅ Mention recent upgrades like new appliances, roofing, or flooring
✅ Include relevant keywords so your listing ranks higher in online searches

4. Maximize Online Exposure

Over 95% of buyers start their home search online, so your home needs maximum digital exposure.

🌎 Where should your listing be?
✔ MLS (Multiple Listing Service) – the primary tool real estate agents use
✔ Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin & Trulia – where buyers actively search
✔ Living in Idaho’s website – we feature homes prominently on our listings page
✔ Social media platforms – Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube

5. Stage Your Home for Maximum Appeal

Buyers want to envision themselves living in your home. Proper staging can help make that happen.

🏡 Staging Tips:
✔ Declutter and depersonalize (remove personal photos & excess furniture)
✔ Add neutral décor to create a warm and inviting atmosphere
✔ Improve curb appeal with landscaping and fresh exterior paint
✔ Use good lighting to brighten rooms and make them feel more spacious
