If your home has been living on the MLS for way too long already, perhaps it's time to consider throwing in a little something extra. Now, I'm not talking about incentives like a new car or a trip to Grand Cayman (though I hear it's lovely this time of year) - I'm thinking more in terms of furniture. Yours, to be exact.
Since buyers have so much inventory to choose from, you need to make your home scream "Buy me! I'm move-in-ready and oh-so-cozy!" And one way to do that is to be open to including some or all of your furniture with the sale of your home.
The idea of furnishing and decorating a whole house can be intimidating to some buyers and if you offer the option (at a higher price of course) of leaving your carefully-chosen and perfect-for-the-home furniture behind, the buyer may see a pretty effortless move in their future. Not to mention, lenders are requiring buyers to come to closing with more cash than we've seen in recent years, so not everyone has the money to fully furnish a home right away once they buy it.
