Getting Ready to Sell Before Winter--and Another Interest Rate Hike

The window to sell is closing, so you want to get the place listed asap if you want to cash out this year. The rule of thumb is to have the place listed now, so you have time to get offers and into escrow by August. That way, you close on the sale before activity really starts to die down.

What to do to prepare to sell, in order of priority

1. Declutter

2. Paint the entire place, including ceilings and cabinets, if needed

3. Change out simple and easy things like faucets, cabinet hardware

4. Refresh bathrooms with a nice new mirror

5. Stage an empty place

6. Replace vanity in bathroom

7. Replace kitchen cabinets if within budget
