A home with a view
Selling a Santa Cruz home with an ocean view
has an instant advantage. It already has the built-in wow factor many buyers
love - the stunning scenic view of the wide expanse of sparkling blue water.
Aside from the view, who can pass up the opportunity of waking up every morning
to the sound of crashing waves, or a chance to take an early morning walk along
the sandy beach, or to feel the cool ocean breeze?
If your home happens to be right in front of
the beach, the more appealing it becomes. However, having a home with an ocean
view doesn't guarantee that your home will sell successfully. There are still
some things you need to do to ensure your home will be attractive to buyers.
How to prepare your ocean view property
When your career is taking you someplace
else, and you are planning to sell your oceanfront property, here are five
exceptional tips to prepare your home.
1. Repair any issues your home may have. The
high salt water content in the air can cause things to easily corrode, so you
may have cracked paint, and your roof and other metal items may have become
rusty. Do not paint over it in an attempt to hide the issue. Don’t let it be
the reason for selling your home at a lower value.
2. Declutter and clean. Buyers love bright,
spacious homes. You can achieve this look by decluttering. Donate, give away or
throw out any broken or unnecessary items like old shoes, outdated clothes,
DVDs, books, broken toys, etc.
You are going to be packing anyway, so
decluttering is a great start to sort out which items you should take with you
and which can be given away.
Clean the house until it sparkles. Make sure
to deep clean the kitchen and the toilet. Cleaning includes even the drawers
and cabinets, so start organizing.
3. Stage it. Staging is crucial. You want the
interior to have that “beach home feel” because you are selling not just a
house but a lifestyle. Staging your home with an ocean view in Santa Cruz can
help the buyers feel emotionally attracted to it, which will encourage them to
buy the home.
4. Maximize the ocean view. Remove anything that
blocks or obstructs the exceptional water view so that is the first thing the
buyer sees upon entering the home,
Favor clear glass windows instead of windows
with treatments that can ruin the view. Bushes and tree branches should be
trimmed to get the best view of the ocean.
Seating arrangements should be centered
towards windows with a view, so the buyer can easily imagine himself relaxing
on the seat while gazing into the peaceful, blue waters. When the water view is
on the deck, clean and repaint it if necessary.
