How To Emotionally

Detach Yourself from

Your Candlewood Lake

Home for Sale

Listing your Candlewood Lake home for sale is emotionally

challenging, especially if you have lived in it for a long time.

Your Candlewood Lake property holds a lot of memories and

has become a part of your identity and lifestyle. How can you

forget a home where you or your children grew up, where

you took countless boat rides on the lake, where you

celebrated so many birthdays and milestones with loved

ones?

Being too emotionally attached to your Candlewood Lake

home makes it harder to sell. Since your home holds

great sentimental value for you, you will tend to

overestimate its market value. This will eventually lead to

problems in accepting offers from interested buyers. This

means that your lake home for sale in CT will be on the

market longer than if it might have been had it been listed

at a more reasonable price.

Here are a few tips on how to emotionally detach yourself

from your Candlewood Lake home for sale:

1. Pack away all your personal items.

These may include photos, souvenirs, trophies, and other

personal stuff. Aside from making it easier to let go,

removing your personal items helps in creating a clean

slate; making it easier for buyers to imagine themselves

living in the home. This will help your home sell faster.

2. Think about your new home.

Whether or not you have bought your next home,

it would be a great time to start thinking of your

new home and imagining yourself living in it. This

will help you transfer your emotional connection

with your old home to the next home. Focus on

the things you are looking forward to about living

in your new home.

3. Keep memories of your old

Candlewood Lake home.

Before you move, take photos of your

old home. You can even make a video

tour so you can always remember the

home in Candlewood Lake where

you used to live.

4. Get a third party opinion.

Ask your Candlewood Lake agent or

a professional stager to look at your

home and suggest ways on how you

could improve it to sell faster.

Emotionally detaching yourself from

your Candlewood Lake CT home for

sale will be easier if you follow these

tips and the advice of your agent.
