Selling Your Luxury Home In 2023

Hello everyone, welcome to LUXE BLOG. Today I will discuss some tips for selling your Las Vegas luxury home as efficiently as possible. And while the market has improved some, it still is much more competitive than it was at its peak in early 2022. Let me be clear, as of March 2023, selling your luxury home in Las Vegas is not an easy task. It takes time. In this post, I’ll share 10 some basics to help you better understand what it takes to sell a luxury in today’s market.

Choose A Good Agent And/Or Broker

The first step to selling your luxury home is choosing a Las Vegas real estate broker who has experience with high-end properties. Look for someone who has experience working with high-end buyers. Do they understand their way of buying? How to market to them? Also, an experienced luxury agent can help you best determine the right list price. Because they are out and about, and paying attention to market trends, they should be able to inform you on trends. As a luxury agent, I consistently add Las Vegas real estate market updates and share helpful blogs and content.

List At The Right Price

I can’t believe I’m still saying this after 30 years, list at the right price. Back in April of 2022? The market changed. Point blank. And while inventory has stabilized, we are in a different world than the post-pandemic frenzy. The FEDS raised rates yet again last week. Setting the right price is crucial when selling your property. I mean it. Pricing too high can deter potential buyers, while pricing too low can cost you money. Make sure whoever does your comparative market analysis (CMA) knows what they’re doing. Even better, make sure they’re not just taking the listing to get a luxury listing.

Showcasing Your Property’s Best Features Is Important

Showcase Your Property’s Best Features

Luxury home buyers want to see the best of the best when they’re out home shopping. Many times, they are here for a short time just to look at listings. Make sure your home’s best features are on full display. Highlight any unique architectural elements, views, high-end appliances, or other amenities that set your home apart. Hire a professional photographer to capture high-quality images that showcase your home in the best possible light. There’s a tone more that can be done if needed, this is just a general guide.

Marketing

Marketing your luxury home effectively is essential to selling your home. I don’t say quickly or at top dollar because different sellers have different goals. Sometimes both are achieved, I’m just being realistic here. Obviously, make sure your Realtor uses high-quality marketing materials, has good photos and videos taken, writes good property descriptions, and has a good online marketing gameplan. Ensure your home is listed on all the prominent home search websites and social media platforms to maximize its exposure. I’m always talking about real estate stuff here on my Las Vegas real estate blog. Make sure to bookmark it.

Be Available

Make sure potential buyers can easily reach you or your real estate agent if they have questions or want to schedule a showing. Respond to inquiries promptly and be available to show your home at a moment’s notice. Buyers won’t wait around for long, so make yourself as reachable as possible. Right now, they have much more power than have over the past several years. It’s the truth.

Open Houses & Broker Opens

Are open houses a good things? It depends. Of course, they are a potentially good way to get more exposure for your luxury home. The reason I say potentially is because, many times, agents like to do them to pick up more buyers. Meaning buyers who will not buy your home. In fact, very few homes sell to someone who saw it an open house. That being said, sometimes open houses can be very successful, especially if other luxury agents attend. And that brings me to broker opens, high-end listing agents can throw events at your listing, exposing it to dozens of top producers.

Highlight The Lifestyle

Luxury home buyers aren’t just buying a property; they’re buying a lifestyle. Especially here in Vegas. Make sure your marketing materials highlight the unique lifestyle that your home offers. If your home is in a golf course community, promote the benefits of golfing. If your home has a stunning pool, showcase the perfect place for luxury relaxation. You get the point.

Keeping Your Home Clean And Decluttered Helps Buyers Envision Their Future In The Home

Staging & Clutter

Staging your luxury home can significantly affect how quickly it sells. However, this isn’t always necessary. If it is, your agent can help you hire a good home stager to help you create a welcoming atmosphere. Remove any clutter, depersonalize the space, and create an inviting ambiance. It helps potential buyers envision themselves living in the house.

Be Patient

Finally, selling a luxury home takes time, even when you follow all the proper steps. Be patient and stay positive. Listen to feedback from potential buyers and make adjustments if necessary.
