Preparing Your Candlewood Lake Home for Sale

Preparing Your Candlewood Lake Home for Sale

 

Arriving at a successful closing for your Candlewood Lake home for sale depends on how well you prepare for it.

Know the secrets on how you you can sell your Candlewood Lake home for sale.

Here are some tips in preparing your Candlewood Lake home:

1. Sell not just the home, but the lake.

A buyer can change the property but they can never change its location. Buyers looking for Candlewood Lake Danbury CT homes are there for the location so make sure to focus your efforts on the lake, the shoreline, and the lifestyle. Whether you are selling a home in Candlewood Lake or in Lake Zoar, make sure to play up the benefits and features of living near those lakes.

  • Make sure that the pathway to the lake or dock is defined, well-lit, and welcoming. Buyers prefer to go right down to the water when looking at lake properties for sale.
  • Your shoreline should be clear of debris. You can show photos of the lake in all seasons in your brochures to showcase its beauty all throughout the year. Your brochure could also include details about the lake itself like depth, size, allowed recreation, types of fish, boat launches, boating rules, etc.
  • Lake tours also create a great impression with buyers. Have a boat, pontoon, or kayak ready, along with life jackets so you can take your guests and potential buyers on a lake tour. This also reinforces the lifestyle they could look forward to when buying your lake home for sale.

2. Check for Deck and Dock Safety

If you have a deck or a boat dock, check for safety hazards and make sure it is sturdy before putting your Candlewood Lake home on the market. Repair or replace any damaged or loose boards. If you have a floating dock, rope it in.

3. Stage With Lake Lifestyle in Mind

Buyers are buying a lake home not just for the structure or to have something to live in, but for the lifestyle that comes with it. You can help them imagine themselves living that life in your home by staging not just your home, but also the lakeside yard. Include some lake lifestyle items like boats, kayaks, fishing gear, beach towels, a fire pit, etc. However, be careful not to overdo it. Let your potential buyers have a great lakefront experience during your open house.

4. Hire an Agent Who Specializes in Candlewood Lake Homes

Lakefront homes are unique and require a different set of marketing strategies and skill sets to sell, so make sure you select an agent with extensive knowledge and experience in selling lakefront homes. That agent should also know how to sell the lakefront lifestyle.

Ask questions about the agent’s experience in selling lakefront properties like the number of sales they have closed in the past 2 years, the average time their listings were on the market, etc. You could also ask them to describe Candlewood Lake or Lake Zoar to you as if you were a buyer. If they can’t appeal to you emotionally, then they won’t with real buyers.

These are some of the tips that could help you prepare your home before putting it on the market. Make sure to work with the best Candlewood Lake agent in order to sell your home fast and to a wider pool of buyers.
