Getting Your House Ready to Sell?
|
In a market that’s shifting as fast as it is today, many homeowners wonder what, if anything, needs to be renovated before they sell their house. That’s where I come in. I can help you think through today’s market conditions and how they impact what you should – and shouldn’t – do before selling your house.
Here are some considerations I will guide you through.
What You Need To Know About Your Local Market
Since the supply of homes for sale has increased so much this year, today’s buyers have more options than they had last year. That may mean you’re not able to ignore some of those repairs or cosmetic updates you could have skipped in previous months. To stand out in the market, sellers must make their home attractive to buyers, which usually means some selective updates. The key word here is selective. Since it’s still closer to a sellers’ market, focusing on a few key areas may be enough to make your house stand out from other options. This is where I can give you advice on what’s happening in your neighborhood and what to do to make your house show well.
Not All Renovation Projects Are Equal
In addition to making sure your house makes a good first impression, you’ll also want to consider the return on your investment for any renovations. According to the 2022 Remodeling Impact Report from the National Association of Realtors, here are the projects that could net you the best return when you sell your house:

I have so much exposure to what other sellers are doing before listing their homes and how buyers are reacting to those upgrades, I can help steer you in the right direction based on current trends. This knowledge will help you determine what you may need to repair, replace, or refinish. Every home is different, so a conversation is mission-critical to make sure you make the right moves when preparing your home for sale in today’s market conditions.
It’s important to spend your time and money wisely when you’re getting ready to move. Let’s work together to confirm where to focus your efforts to get the greatest return before you sell.
