Make repairs now. Labor and supply shortages may result in longer wait times for repairs and upgrades. If you can manage, DIY as many repairs as you can, and talk to your agent about which projects are a must and which ones to skip.

Price your home competitively. It may be a seller’s market but avoid the temptation to overvalue your house. Let your agent pull comps and nearby listings to make sure you land at the right price point to attract as many buyers as possible.

Be prepared to act fast. Depending on how hot demand is in your area, you may receive multiple offers within a short time period, possibly even on the same day. Determine in advance which terms are most important to you so you can compare offers quickly and make a confident decision.
