The marketing of your property always needs to correctly address the wants and needs of your “target” buyer. If your property is well-suited price-wise to a First-time Buyer, you will want to highlight amenities that no apartment or condo would have:
Private Yard
Large walk-in closets
Garage with Direct Entry into the Home
Separate room for Laundry/Utility
Any First-time Buyer is taking on new responsibility- financial and otherwise. They are quite frequently unsure whether or not the purchase is worth the potential “risk “.
You need to make sure that any potential First-Time Buyer understands that Your House will be an enormous lifestyle upgrade. If they do not view your house in that light, they will never be willing to assume the added responsibilities.
