Sometimes, repairs and home improvements can be important. Sometimes, a seller can spend a lot of extra money fixing something a buyer would never even notice. It may be more convenient to sell your home “as is,” but is it the right thing to do for you?
What is the return on investment for your repair?
Some improvements are likely to pay off in the end. Some will not. You need to estimate whether you can get added value greater than the time and money you end up spending. In some cases, a minor kitchen remodel can boost your home’s value tens of thousands of dollars. In other cases, it may cost tens of thousands but only add a few thousand to the value of your home. If a repair is simple and won’t cost you much money, do it. If a repair costs a lot but won’t raise your asking price that much, you should probably just leave it alone.
What are the most important repairs?
Anything inside or outside your home that’s broken, worn out, or defective should probably be replaced. When a potential buyer sees something broken, they may assume there are other things wrong. Replace any broken window glass. Replace stained or worn carpeting. Replace old window coverings, curtains, or drapes. If there are any light bulbs that have burned out, replace them. These are all simple repairs that will help with the sale of your home.
Compare your home to others in your area.
See if your home is comparable to other homes on your street. In some areas, people are more likely to be looking for “fixer-uppers.” In some areas, it’s important to look pristine. If there’s an open house close by, drop in and see how much work they’ve put into selling it. If curb appeal is important in your neighborhood, you may want to make sure your home’s exterior looks up to par.
What if you don’t have time to do everything you’d like to do?
Sometimes a seller needs to move quickly. If you need to sell your home fast, for any reason, do what you can to make your home look its best, but don’t stress out over what you can’t do. If you don’t have time to make the repairs you’d like, you may end up looking at a smaller profit. That’s okay. You still can make a profit.
