Selling Your Home? 10 Unique Tactics to Attract Potential Buyers

FrontDoor.com has ten great, unusual tactics for attracting buyers to your current home for sale.

If you have a home on the market now or are contemplating placing your home for sale in the near future, there’s some anxiety about luring potential buyers.

Home Selling 101 tells us to price your home competitively and maybe even a bit below current market value as home sellers to continue to drop their sale price — smartly priced, your home can attract extra attention now.

But here are some unusual strategies from FrontDoor.com — HGTV’s new award-winning real estate site:

Hold an open house party. Open houses are the norm when selling a home, but some sellers are upping the ante on the open house by offering wine, catered food, live music and prizes. A fancy shindig could start a buzz on your property and make your home memorable.

Take home staging to the extreme. It’s well known that staging your home can help it sell faster, but some sellers are taking staging a step further with an ancient Chinese philosophy. Feng shui stagers rearrange the elements of a home to improve its chi, or energy. Good chi makes potential buyers feel more welcome.
