How to Add Value to Your Lake Zoar Real Estate Property for Sale

Did you know that staging the water’s edge of your Lake Zoar real estate can greatly add value to your home and bring you higher offers? The good news is, you don’t have to spend so much or do major renovations to increase your home’s value.

Stage and give value to your Lake Zoar property for sale, here are tips on how to.

Here are some simple and easy tips on how you can get top dollar for your Lake Zoar real estate:

1. Stage Your Home’s Waterfront.

          Place flowerpots and lovely plants on your waterfront deck or patio. Arrange lawn furniture in an inviting and cozy manner. Additional outdoor living and entertainment space adds perceived value to your home in the potential buyer’s mind. If possible, have your waterfront or lawn professionally landscaped.

2. Repair and Freshen up Your Docks and Decks.

          Check your dock/deck’s boards if they are worn out or broken and replace if needed. Many sellers of lake properties overlook this responsibility but it is one simple project that can set your Lake Zoar real estate for sale apart from the competition.

3. Clean the Shoreline Near Your Home.

          Don’t forget the shoreline. Remove dead leaves and other debris from the shoreline area and make it look clean and neat prior to showings.

4. Clean Your Boathouse

          If you have a boathouse, make sure to clean it both inside and out. Remove any bird droppings or animal waste. Applying a fresh coat of paint can go a long way in making your boathouse look new. Remove large boats, if possible, since they make the space appear smaller.

5. Maximize the Views.

          Make your windows sparkly clean, especially those facing Lake Zoar. Remove any decorations, furniture, or other items that may obstruct the view.

6. Retrieve all Existing Permits.

          Make all permits for work completed on the shorefront available for your buyer.

7. Apply for New Permits.

          Apply for additional permits for permanent docks, covered boat docks, boathouses, etc. This will add value to your list price. Start this process as soon as possible since additional laws and restrictions regarding the waterfront are enacted on a regular basis.

8. Provide a Map and Useful Area Information.

          Most buyers of Lake Zoar real estate are looking for second homes or vacation homes and are often unfamiliar with the area and surrounding communities. It would be very helpful if you provide them with a map of the lake and its surrounding areas of Newtown, Sandy Hook, Southbury and Oxford. This will help potential buyers gain perspective of the lake and its surrounding areas. If you can, hire a professional to take aerial shots of your Lake Zoar property since it gives a better perspective of your home and its immediate surroundings. It also proves that your home provides privacy and that surrounding properties compliment and add to the value of your Lake Zoar home. You can make a brochure which includes restaurants, shops, and other nearby local amenities which buyers will find very useful.
