Are you thinking about selling your home this year? Maybe you’re wondering what steps to take or how to get the most for your property in 2025. If that’s you, I’ve got some tips to help you sell smart in today’s market. Here are three key things about your home that you should check first.:

1. Home condition. Are there areas that need remodeling or repairs? Condition is something you can control, and in today’s market, it makes a big difference. You may not need a major remodel, but fresh paint, clean flooring, and neat landscaping can go a long way. Buyers should walk up to a tidy yard and freshly painted door, and step into a home that feels well cared for. First impressions really count.

2. Neighborhood. Here in Charleston, South Carolina, we’re seeing some big differences in how long homes are staying on the market. In certain areas, homes go under contract in just days, while others take months. Timing is everything, and understanding what’s happening in your area—and in your specific price range—can help you make the right move. Every neighborhood is different, and knowing what to expect in yours will help you plan your sale more effectively.

3. Accurate home valuation. While it’s easy to hop online and get an automated estimate, those numbers don’t always reflect the true value of your home. On the other hand, a real estate professional can walk through your property, consider the improvements you’ve made, and compare it to active listings and recent sales nearby. This gives you a much clearer and more realistic picture of what your home is worth and how long it might take to sell.
