Bar Beach represents a luxurious beachside lifestyle, so it makes sense to add a touch of luxury when selling your Bar Beach home. Consider investing in smart technology to wow potential buyers with integrated sound systems, security alarms and smart door locks. Upgrade your appliances to give the illusion of luxury, without the expense of a full renovation. Your property is sure to sell for top dollar if it represents the luxury Bar Beach beachside dream.
Given Bar Beach’s enviable beachside position, it pays to focus on the outdoor lifestyle when appealing to prospective buyers. Even if your home does not boast ocean views, capitalise on your location and create an inviting outdoor area to soak up the coastal vibe. Use potted colour and leafy plants to bring the outside to your door. Create a secluded spot for outdoor entertaining and make the most of the outdoors when preparing your Bar Beach home for sale.
Bar Beach is highly sought-after by managers and professionals. To meet market demand (and maximise the price for your home), it’s vital to cater to this market. Declutter your home to maximise space and storage. Define a study/office space for those looking to work from home. Finish off those long postponed projects so busy professional buyers are not put off by the idea of a fixer-upper. Present your property as a complete package for the professional market.
