Our Berkshires Real Estate Blogs
Should you make improvements to sell your home?
This is a question many sellers ask when they are preparing their home to sell. In some cases, the seller has made improvements prior to calling us, expecting that the improvements will make their home move valuable. Some improvements and value some make a home more saleable but do not add value. For example: if you invested thousands of dollars to remodel a bathroom, you would not recoup the total cost in the sale of the home, buyers would consider it a positive; thus making your home more saleable. If you added another bathroom, it would add value to your home. A bathroom could add salability just with a fresh coat of paint and new fresh towels.
Cleaning and painting are usually the smallest investments with the largest gains. When you contact us, we will view your home and make suggestions to you that will help sell your home faster and for more money. Buyers will look at several homes before deciding which one to purchase. They will consider the location, the condition and the price of your home compared to other homes on the market.
