How to Attract More Buyers to Your Candlewood Lake Danbury CT Home For Sale

If you are planning on selling your Candlewood Lake Danbury this summer, you may find it a bit daunting that there is a smaller target market of qualified buyers for lakefront properties.

These tips will help attract buyers’ attention and get them to the doorstep of your Candlewood Lake Danbury CT home for sale.

There are a lot of things you can do to make your Candlewood Lake home for sale more appealing and stand out from the other lakefront homes for sale in Candlewood Lake Danbury CT. Here are a few tips:

1. Clean and and declutter your home. A clean home is very appealing to buyers. Declutter your home and remove all personal items and photos. Make sure your closets and storage areas are organized since buyers tend to open and inspect these as well. Touch up and chipped paint and woodwork. Replace torn screens and cracked tiles. Clean all your windows. Replace towels and worn out rugs with new ones. Make sure all the areas with lake views are clear of obstructions. Consider hiring a professional to stage your home.

2. Kitchen. The kitchen is one of the most important rooms for buyers.  Make sure to clean appliances inside and out. Replace anything with leaks, drips, or squeaks. For countertops, apply the rule of three, which means no more than three things on display. Clean and organize the inside of kitchen cabinets.

3. Bathrooms. Keeping your bathroom looking immaculately clean and fresh is simple. Just replace the dirty grout with fresh grout, clean rust stains, and replace shower curtains with new ones. Make sure to fix leaky faucets and repair caulking.

4. Bedrooms. The master suite is the second most important room for buyers. A master bedroom with a well-defined sleeping, dressing, and sitting area is most appealing to buyers. Other bedrooms should be kept simple with just a simple bed, nightstand, and dresser.

5. Fireplaces/ Fire Rings. Place freshly cut logs, clean up ashes in the hearth or firebox, and polish the glass doors and trim.

6. Docks, Decking and Sidewalks. Instead of a garden hose, use a power washer to clean all walking surfaces on the dock, decking and sidewalks. If you don’t have a power washer, you can rent one at your local rental center or buy one at a hardware store. Check for rotten deck boards and replace them. Faded decking should be re-stained. Clear all debris, leaves, and undergrowth.

7. Boathouse. Clean your boathouse both inside and out. Sweep away all clutter,  cobwebs, wasp and bird nests. You might want to remove large boats to enlarge your boathouse’s interior space. Showcase parts of the boathouse that offer extra storage space by making sure it is well lit. Add extra light fixtures if needed. Repaint the exterior if needed.

8. Waterfront. If you have lawn furniture, the best way to stage them is to position them in social gathering clusters, so guests can easily imagine having a gathering or barbecue area along your waterfront. Keep the shoreline clear of debris and dead fish.

9. Trees, Landscaping and Lawn. Keep your lawn well-maintained and uncluttered. Remove any unnecessary lawn items, debris, or toys. Get rid of weeds. Add fresh mulch. Make sure your grass is mowed and the trees and shrubs are trimmed.

10. Home Exterior. Repair the exterior of your lakefront home for sale if necessary. Repair any loose trim boards, doors, and windows. Your main door should be in excellent condition.

If you want to attract more buyers to your Candlewood Lake Danbury CT home for sale this summer, make sure to follow these tips and keep your home well-maintained.
