Steps to sell a house include: 1) Conduct market research to set competitive pricing. 2) Stage and repair the property for optimal appeal. 3) Market widely using online listings and agent networks. 4) Negotiate offers and complete legal paperwork.

Market research ensures pricing aligns with local trends, reducing time on market by up to 30% (Zillow, 2023). Staging boosts buyer interest, with homes staged sell 50% faster (National Association of Realtors, 2022). Competitive pricing attracts multiple offers, increasing sale price by 5-10% (Redfin, 2023). Legal compliance avoids delays; 20% of sales fail due to paperwork errors (National Association of Realtors, 2023). Pricing too high or neglecting repairs can lead to 15-25% longer time on market (, 2023). Negotiating strategies like counteroffers and inspection contingencies balance speed and price, with 65% of buyers accept minor repairs if pricing is favorable (HomeLight, 2023). Pre-approval for buyers shortens offer cycles by 40% (Bankrate, 2023). Regularly updating listings with photos and virtual tours maintains visibility, as 90% of buyers view digital content before contacting agents (NAR, 2023).
