Amidst the hurdles that real estate faced last year, there’s optimism in the air for 2024. In a recent statement, Sam Khater, chief economist at Freddie Mac, shared his confidence, anticipating a bustling spring home-buying season, surpassing the activity of 2023. This encouraging forecast brings a wave of hope to realtors, homeowners, and eager buyers navigating the ever-evolving market.

While the low inventory presents its own set of hurdles, the dips in interest rates show promising signs for growth in home sales. In the face of these challenges, there are actionable steps agents should be taking now to ensure your listings are primed for the anticipated spring demand.

Create Digital Curb Appeal

In today’s digital age, an online presence is essential for reaching prospective buyers. Homebuyers start their search online, so high-quality photos and engaging, detailed descriptions are crucial to making that great first impression. 

Investing in a skilled real estate photographer who can capture a property’s unique features is key to setting your listings apart. Take it a step further with presale updates and professional staging. This not only helps potential buyers envision themselves in the space but also ensures your listings are move-in ready.

Include a 3D Home Virtual Tour

Beyond ensuring your listings are physically and digitally appealing, incorporating an interactive 3D home virtual tour or floor plan can elevate your online listing experience and keep you current in our ever-evolving technology-driven world. This dynamic feature not only provides potential buyers with a comprehensive view of the property but also enhances engagement, resulting in increased page views and saves.

Keep a pulse on market trends and fluctuations in inventory, interest rates, and buyer preferences. Stay informed about emerging neighborhoods, new developments, and upcoming amenities that can influence buying decisions.
