SELL AS-IS !
OR UPGRADE? ,
Should a homeseller rehab for ! extra profit before placing his home • on the market? There are strong ar- ! guments pro and con on this subject. J
An experienced agent can offer j constructive suggestions on upgrad- , ing as part of the total marketing effort to help sellers realize a maximum return on their housing investment. On occasion, a situation may exist where rehab expenses would exceed a seller’s budget and the seller should decide to sell the house as-is.
Also, a seller may find that the cost of improving the home will end up costing a lot more money than the increased market price would bring.
Major improvements in a home, just for the purpose of getting a higher selling price is an “iffy” situation. Final costs almost always outstrip original estimates as do time estimates and extreme living inconvenience. All in all, it’s usually a better practice to price the home in the condition it is presently in and let the buyer make the improvements.
