Updates to consider when selling your Weston home
Selling your house or condo in Weston involves many facets, some of which you control and many you don’t. When preparing to sell a home and move on, you must consider the following:
- How much time will the repairs take
- How much will they cost
- Will I recoup the expense & sell more quickly
- Will it increase the value of my home
All of these are valid concerns and fair questions to ask your Realtor.
RISMedia recently was quoted as saying “that while there is no perfect method to follow duringthe process of selling your Weston home, some affordable improvements can increase the probability of a sale at a fair price and in a reasonable amount of time. One of the examples they gave was to consider replacing windows, many homeowners and home buyers feel that new windows are a valuable feature on several level, making it a worthwhile investment to improve buyer perception of the property.
RISMedia has been quotes as saying that updating garage doors may be a worthwhile improvement to consider when selling your Weston property. While they seem unimportant, they’re commonly one of the first things a prospective buyer sees and as a result can have a major impact on his or her opinion of the house.
Your floors are another important feature which are easy to forget because homeowners rarely look at them closely. Hardwood floors can be refinished for a reasonable price if necessary, and homeowners may wish to consider shampooing any stained or worn carpets. If you have cats and have accidents that have occurred inside, you better remove the carpet and no cleaning process known to man will remove the smell of cat urine. You may be used to it, but I assure you the prospective buyer will be turned cold by it and not make an offer at any price regardless how nice the rest of you home may be.
Fixtures
Old lighting fixtures can make a room or house seem significantly older and more worn, according to experts. Updating these fixtures, particularly in the bathroom and kitchen, can have a significant impact. Remember that kitchens and bathrooms sell homes and that ladies buy homes, the guys just pay for them(mostly).
Similarly, plumbing and hardware fixtures are so common that it’s easy to forget about them when preparing a Weston home but for the same reason may be noticeable to home buyers. These items may be available at a discount through contractor supply websites or your local Home Depot and any handyman can install them with little trouble or expense.
