They don't have to hassle with renovations.
Plus, an updated home, even in a very active market, may compete better against other houses on the market and especially compete better against new construction.
But really the most important factor is the old saying, you don't get a second chance to make a first impression.
Today, as we know, most home searches start online.
So potential buyers are looking at pictures of your home for the first time online before they ever step foot in it.
A home that presents better may spark more interest.
sellers don't want to waste their money on renovations that won't add to their ultimate sales price curb appeal projects seem to add the most return on sale so while you may think that a kitchen remodel or a bathroom update may add the most to your purchase price it's really replacing a garage door or installing stone veneer on the exterior of your house that has a bigger effect and that's because again it goes to the first impression when a potential buyer drives up and sees the outside of your home
curb appeal will have a strong psychological effect on them.
And I'm told by experts that a positive first impression may actually incentivize a buyer to pay a higher price for that house.
well every year remodeling magazine does a cost versus value study so we have statistics showing which improvements will bring the most money on resale of that home and sometimes you might be surprised by the results for example in the 2021 cost versus value report that was recently published a garage door replacement with an average cost of about 3 900 recouped 94 of the cost at sale
Same thing with manufactured stone veneer on the outside of the house.
That returns 92% when a house is sold.
But a kitchen remodel, on the other hand, will generate only on average a 72% return.
That goes back to the curb appeal being so vitally important to a buyer's first impression of the home.
Actually, it can be beneficial for a seller to get their own home inspection even before they list a home.
That's going to notify them about mechanical problems or other issues like termites that they may want to take care of prior to listing.
By taking care of those issues prior to listing before potential buyers come in the house and start touring it, that is allowing the buyers to focus more on presentation and not whether the AC is working properly.
Yeah, some brokerages like Compass and also Redfin and Coldwell Banker have similar programs.
They will actually front the cost of repairs and updates for the sellers that they represent for the listings that they have.
These brokerages will get paid back when the house ultimately sells.
