We sold 3 homes within 3 months in late 2019 and early 2020, all over asking within hours of going live. Two were in NE and one in The Villages. We had 3 different Realtors and all scheduled open houses for the first weekend after going live. Obviously, open houses seem to be the norm and attract buyers. We were fortunate to have sold prior to the scheduled open houses.
This is a busy time of year for potential buyers in The Villages and many focus on open houses to find their dream home. I believe open houses are valuable here.
That being said, preparing the home for sale is the most important thing you can do to sell quickly. A clean, uncluttered home will sell faster than a home where no attention to detail was taken. Remember, less is more when selling as it’s easier for buyers to envision themselves living there and creates a roomier, inviting atmosphere. These homes are typically smaller than those up north and afford little storage. Having less “stuff” creates the illusion of a bigger space. Happy selling and best of luck!
