Hypothetically speaking the property market in Ibiza can be likened to the Olympics.
It is a global playing field and if your property has not yet grasped the gold in this international competition it may be time to train harder. Luckily, there is no mandatory 16-day period in which to display the best features of your home to potential buyers. Likewise, no one wants to wait four years for their property to be ‘fit for sale.’ The speed in which you achieve your goal to sell is like intense training, it depends entirely on your marketing stamina.
The Heat is On
It is fair to say that Ibiza enjoys a good deal of winter sun but the summer months, when the sky is impossibly blue, and everything looks brighter is the optimum time for displaying your property in its best light. A dream location on an idyllic island which also happens to be a universally desirable holiday destination should make your house easy to sell but the competition is stiff. Take a good look at your photography and compare it to others on the website, because serious investors will certainly be doing the same thing. Do your images look stale or show unappealing aspects of your home? If so, now is the time to change them. Secure the best photographer available within your budget and ask the advice of your agent as they are knowledgeable on effective ‘money shots.’ Remember it only takes one click to create interest.
The Hype
Tweak the listing description if necessary and never forget to add extra selling points such as home improvements you have undertaken, added facilities or new local amenities. Carry out regular reviews of the website and compare your house with others that are on sale or have sold, particularly in your own neighbourhood. Once your property is posted to your satisfaction you may think the work is done but it will greatly assist the agent in selling your home quickly if they are aware of new and exciting developments in or around it. Work as a team to achieve the dream
Get Real
Finally to beat the competition it may be necessary to adjust to changes in the market and lower the price. If your property is simply not generating interest a reputable, accredited agent will be able to advise on a realistic price by assessing sales of similar homes in comparable locations.
Closing Ceremony
Always be looking for the best result and, again, take advice from your agent on accepting an offer. They have the skill and experience to guide clients toward a favourable outcome for both parties. The work you put into selling your property can be likened to the training of an athlete. After all that dedication your time will come to, ‘take the podium’ and to reap your, well deserved, rewards.
