What’s the Fastest Way to Sell My Home Today?
(An Honest Guide for Asheville Homeowners)
If you’re asking yourself, “What’s the fastest way to sell my home today?” you’re probably not just curious — you’re ready.
Whether you’re relocating, downsizing, navigating a life change, or simply ready for your next chapter, selling quickly matters especially today when we are experiencing high levels of inventory.
You selling faster than the other homes around you is how you beat the competition.
The truth isn’t what you’d expect: To sell fast doesn’t mean panicking or underpricing your home.
At Bloom Realty, we help Asheville homeowners sell efficiently, strategically, and with clarity. Here’s what actually works in today’s Asheville real estate market.
1. Price It Right From the Start (This Matters More Than Anything)
The biggest mistake we see sellers make is overpricing “just to see what happens.”
What actually happens?
Fewer showings
Longer days on market
Price reductions that weaken your position
Buyers see more for an opportunity for a discount
Homes that sell the fastest are priced correctly from day one. The first 7–10 days on market are when buyer interest is highest — and that’s when momentum is created.
Smart pricing creates urgency. Urgency creates offers.
2. Make Buyers Fall in Love Online First
Before a buyer ever steps inside your home, they’ve already decided how they feel about it — based on photos and videos.
To sell fast, your home needs to:
Feel clean, bright, and calm
Be lightly staged and thoughtfully styled
Be professionally photographed and videographed
You don’t need perfection. You need simplicity and warmth. Buyers should be able to imagine themselves living there immediately.
High-quality videos let buyers walk through your home virtually, get a real sense of flow and space, and emotionally connect with it — all before they ever schedule a showing.
Homes with professional video get more views, more showings, and faster offers.

3. Handle the Small Stuff Before Buyers See It
You don’t need a major renovation to sell quickly — but small issues can slow everything down.
Fixing minor things like:
Dripping faucets
Loose handles
Peeling paint
Broken lights
removes doubt for buyers. When a home feels cared for, buyers move faster and negotiate less.
Small issues make buyers subconsciously believe that there are probably bigger issues that they don’t know about. If they're afraid of bigger issues, they probably won't make an offer in today's market.
4. Understand That Motivated Sellers Sell FasterConclusion — Winter Could Be Your Best Move
Play to the strength of the season that you’re in.
Trying to sell your home in the winter can be different from trying to sell your home in the spring.
During winter:
Homes on the market during quieter seasons often belong to motivated sellers, which shifts leverage. With fewer buyers competing, serious buyers are more decisive, and deals can come together quickly. Not every seller lists during the holidays or winter months — and that’s exactly why this timing can work.
During spring:
You might not sell as quickly if there’s a ton of other competition. Be prepared to invest in the best quality photo and video marketing that you can. You may also need to offer things like:
Interest rate buy downs
Buyer closing costs credits
Personal property negotiation
Fast sales are possible in any season with the right strategy.
5. Market Aggressively (Not Passively)
Putting a home on the MLS is not a marketing plan.
Homes that sell quickly are:
Promoted across multiple platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, YouTube)
Shared directly with agents and their buyer networks
Featured on social media where buyers are already scrolling
Bringing in consistent in-person traffic into the home through targeted Open Houses and Events
At Bloom Realty, we create visibility early and intentionally because more exposure creates more opportunities.

6. Make Your Home Easy to Show
This one’s simple but powerful: homes that are easy to show sell faster.
Being flexible with showings allows more buyers through the door — and every showing is a chance at an offer. Momentum builds when access is easy.
This can be challenging if the home is an active long term or short term rental. Your agent should provide powerful and efficient opportunities for your home to be seen by as many parties as possible.
Coordinating with tenants has its own unique set of challenges, but a great agent can make this process comfortable and easy for everyone involved.
7. Work With an Agent Who Has a Clear, Calm Plan
A strong, quick sale doesn’t come from rushing. It comes through a professional’s preparation.
The right agent will:
Price strategically
Guide prep decisions with ROI in mind
Anticipate buyer concerns and needs
Negotiate clean, strong contracts
At Bloom Realty, our goal is to help you sell quickly without chaos, and confidently without pressure.
