How to make your home in Malaga look more attractive to buyers

The real estate market in Malaga is booming, but it is also highly competitive. With dozens of homes for sale in each neighborhood, standing out is key to get visits and close the sale successfully. The good news is that, with small strategic changes, you can increase perceived value of your house and speed up the sales process.

In this practical guide we tell you the keys to improving the appearance of your home and attract more potential buyers.

• Add fresh plants or pots in good condition.

A dripping faucet, a door that doesn't close, or a loose switch can give an image of neglect. Check all the functional elements of the home before receiving visitors.

Checklist:

• Taps, cisterns and plumbing.

• Appliances if included.

4. Professional photos: your best sales tool

Checklist for visits:

• Conservation status.

• Nearby services.

• Current demand.
