Episode Details

You're about to spend thousands getting your house ready to sell. Professional staging. A photographer. Maybe a lick of paint on the fence.

But in a buyer's market with interest rates climbing, how do you know what actually moves the needle for getting the house sold?

Vanessa Williams from http://realestate.co.nz is back in the hot seat with the actual data on what's working right now.

We get into whether professional staging shows up in the sale price, which presentation upgrades are genuinely worth it and which ones aren't, what http://realestate.co.nz sees in listing performance when photos are good versus average, and whether the ROI on all of this changes when buyers have more choice.

If you're about to list and wondering where to spend and where to save, this one's for you.

In this episode:

• Does professional staging actually increase your property sale price?
• Which house upgrades are worth it, and which aren't?
• Does better photography get more home buyers through the door?
• How to sell a house in a buyer's market
• What sellers can do themselves vs where to spend the money
