WHY FIX IT UP IF YOU’RE JUST GOING TO SELL IT?

Would you put your car up for sale without a thorough wash and detail? Most homeowners mistakenly think buyers will be able to visualize themselves living in their home with their stuff. WRONG! 90% of buyers cannot see beyond what is there.

A move in condition home has a greater value to buyers and will sell at a higher price. “Today’s Market” and “HomeGain” (real estate research companies) say that homes that have been cleaned up, painted and updated allow the seller to realize a 100% or more return on the cost of any of those improvements. Guess which improvement is one of the tops in returning 586% of your investment?  STAGING

Today buyers are reluctant to purchase a neglected property because they must do costly repairs immediately.  Also, they do not have financial resources like equity lines any more to use to do this.

So if 94% of prepped/staged homes sell on average in 29 days or less when the average days on market for a home to sell is 90 and these homes sell on average for 7% more, what should you do?

Call the Jennie Manders Home Team to hear about the comprehensive program we have in place to make repairs, improvements and do staging cost effectively and without stress.
