Preparing to Sell Your Home
Statistics show that completing certain home improvements before listing your house can bring in a higher profit from your final sale.
But what improvements and how many are worth the investment? Every house and situation is different. That’s where Homestead Realty and Generation Builders can help. This is a unique partnership that not all real estate agencies can offer. By working together and using market data, we can identify beneficial improvements to help your home sell quickly and for your target asking price.
Common pre-listing projects include:
A fresh coat of paint creates a clean slate for potential buyers and goes a long way to make your home seem well cared for. Stick with a neutral color that matches your neighborhood’s aesthetic.
Stained or damaged carpeting can make buyers think the worst about how a home was maintained. Some may even question is the there is damage beyond what they can see. A deep clean can make lightly worn carpets look brand new and impress potential buyers. If cleaning doesn’t do the trick, it maybe a good idea to replace carpets entirely. Be sure to select a neutral carpet style that will appeal to a variety of buyer design preferences.
Stainless steel appliances is a popular criteria among buyers. If appliances are outdated many home buyers will plan on replacing them after closing—considering that cost may result in a lower offer price. Replacing older appliances can be a great way to add perceived value to your home.
Bathrooms can be a real WOW factor for future owners, make sure it’s a good ‘wow’! To help minimize your investment, try sticking with materials that are already present in your bathroom and if you have to prioritize one bathroom, always start with the primary bath.
“How old is the roof?” is a common question from potential buyers. If your roof is nearing the end of it’s healthy life it might pay to have a professional make repairs to keep it sound. If a complete replacement is needed, the increased cost may be worth it in the long run. A buyer’s inspector will always point out roof problems, which may result in the buyer asking for a seller’s concession at closing to cover the cost of a roof replacement.
