Ridding your home of critical defects and hazards goes a long way towards attracting buyers. Make your home more desirable by either eliminating these property flaws or factoring them into your pricing:
- Outdated roof. Replacing an old roof or certifying your roof is in good condition helps to close your deal faster.
- Cluttered gutters. Proper gutter maintenance can avoid damage to the foundation. Buyers also appreciate the cleanliness.
- Old windows and doors. Creaky doors and jammed or sticking windows indicate your home is outdated, requiring pricey updates.
- Broken appliances. While buyers expect to replace a few appliances, multiple dated or broken appliances necessitate major upgrades that put buyers off.
- Termites. Pest infestations will have your buyers running away. Ensure your home is termite-free by obtaining a certificate of clearance.
- Faulty air conditioning. An aged or broken HVAC system is a significant concern to buyers who will foot the costly bill — be prepared to negotiate a lower home price.
- Cracked foundation. Faults in your foundation often signal more serious defects. Repair structural damage before listing your home to avoid complications with your buyer.
