AI summary

In the current buyer's market, sellers must make their property stand out. With high listings noted by Core Logic, focus on creating a great first impression and being competitive.

Regularly review local sales to set a realistic price. Boost kerb appeal with a tidy garden and fresh paint, and declutter personal items so buyers can envision themselves in the space. Completing necessary repairs beforehand avoids difficult negotiations. Consider professional home staging for a competitive edge.
