How Will Your Kapiti Property Compare With Others On The Market?

Why some Kapiti properties sell ahead of others.

If you are thinking about putting your Kapiti Coast home on the market now or in the future, you'll need to think about how it will stack-up alongside other properties.

Stand back and look at your Kapiti property as objectively as you can.

Would you buy this home?

Ask friends and neighbours to do the same. Insist they be totally honest. Good or bad - you need to know the truth!

How does your property compare? Truthfully now - what stands out? It's really very simple.

Start by taking a clear-headed look at the exterior of your house from the street. Look at your house in the same way a buyer might. Imagine that you are seeing your house for the very first time.

What catches your eye? What stands out?

Is it the beautiful landscaping and the new fence or roof? Or does something else strike you?

Maybe your eye is drawn by the flaking exterior paint? Perhaps it's those holes in the driveway that you notice first? Could it be the rusty guttering, or the over-hanging trees that need a trim?

Now imagine your house is entered into a "home of the year" contest. Get out a clipboard and take an inspection tour of your entire property - inside and out. Judge each room out of 10 points. Note any minor repairs that are needed.

Note down any areas that need cleaning or painting.

Prepare a "TO DO" list and prepare a plan of action.

Do what is necessary to make your house stand out from the competition. Make certain that your house is fresher, cleaner, and better maintained. And above all - make sure it has "street appeal."
