As stated previously, this program is designed to sell homes instantly and for
full value in any market. Furthermore, it gives you enough leveraging power to
sell your property in as-is condition. So, your goal is to spruce up your property to
make it as attractive to your potential home buyers as possible while avoiding
costly home improvements. Ideally, you should spend as little money as possible
to maximize your profits. However, there still may be some circumstances where
it becomes necessary to make major repairs in order to get the house in marketable
condition.
For instance, “flippers” and rehabbers (investors who buy fixer uppers to fix
and re-sell for a profit), know that there are certain home improvements which are
proven to add value or to speed up the sale of houses. These improvements include
updating or adding amenities such as central air conditioning, building a deck or
patio, finishing the basement, remodeling the kitchen or bathroom, upgrading the
flooring, etc. Make sure that whatever improvements you do make have a
universal appeal. Do not spend money on improvements that reflect personal
preferences that not everyone may share. A good example of this is deciding to
convert the garage into an extra room. That represents a personal preference that is
not necessarily universal. Most potential home buyers would probably want the
garage.
When you are undertaking a major renovation, it is a challenge to maintain a
budget that allows room for profit. There is always the risk of over-improving your
house — that is, putting more money into it than current market prices will
support.
If you absolutely must renovate—for instance, if your house needs a new
roof, or if there is water or fire damage, you need to carefully consider what your
budget is going to be. How much is too much to spend on repairing or remodeling
a house that you intend to sell for profit? Professional renovators have found that,
no matter how much you improve any given house, you are unlikely to sell it for
more than 15 percent above the median price of other houses in the surrounding
area. It does not matter whether you do $1,000 worth of work or $50,000.
According to the experts, you are not likely to exceed the parameters of your local
market value. This is because buyers pay attention to the price of similar homes in
the surrounding area. For example, if most homes in your area (similar to yours,)
are priced in the ballpark of $200,000 and you price your house at $280,000, home
buyers are going to say, “Why should I pay that much for this house, when the one
down the street just like it costs so much less?”
That is why it would be a good idea for you to get a professional opinion
about whether or not it is worth your time and money to undertake any renovation
project that you may have in mind before you start the work.
