Planning To Sell Your House in 2025? Start Prepping Now

If selling your home is on your 2025 agenda, now is the perfect time to start preparing. Though next year might feel far away, getting a head start means more flexibility and less stress.

According to Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com, “47% of sellers take over a month to get their homes ready.” So, beginning early allows you to tackle updates and repairs one step at a time.

Why Start Now?

Prepping early helps your home shine in the market, attracting more buyers and a potentially higher price.

As Realtor.com highlights, “Rushing can lead buyers to notice missed repairs, which can cost you in the end.”

What Should You Focus On?

Not sure where to begin?  Take on one project at a time – maybe it’s fixing a leaky faucet, refreshing landscaping, or painting a room – to keep things manageable and make a strong impression. 

Start with updates that buyers notice first— like decluttering, painting, or kitchen touch-ups, but consult with our expert team to understand what buyers in your area most value. We’ll guide you on which updates add the most value and whether bigger projects, like roof repairs or HVAC upgrades, are worth the investment. Not everything gets you the best ROI!

Bottom Line

Planning to sell next year? Don’t wait! Starting now lets you make thoughtful choices that will help you stand out when 2025 arrives.
