The thing is: Listing a home is easy.
And pretty much every home will sell at some point (even if only to be torn down).
But what you have to think about is the price.
Will you get what youre asking for or, ideally, more?
Many buyers back out of buying when the inspection reveals problems you didnt know let alone tell them about.
This way youll be informed and can hedge against any surprise backouts based on what the buyers inspection reveals.
And again, talk to yourreal estate agent, the Ramsey Solutions team wrote.
Be Upfront and Honest About Your Homes Issues
Is your plumbing old and unreliable?
Does your roof have any leaky spots?
Is the garage door broken?
Take a careful inventory of all problem areas and list them honestly in these forms.
Your realtor can help you with all this, too.
Definitely dont embark on anything major, like say, installing anew plumbing system(unless youre a plumber!
), but look into the little but important things you’ve got the option to repair yourself.
You learn that, as is, your home could sell for $300,000.
But if you completed those repairs, the value would jump to $315,000.
Think twice before you go to sell your house as is.
