Should you renovate before Selling?This is a question that I get asked frequently from sellers as I’m sure other Real Estate Professionals  do as well. Take a cue from the Scott Brothers; Drew & Jonathan on the HGTV hit show, "Property Brothers" who are taking on new renovation projects each and every episode, for both homes being sold and the homes being purchased. First and foremost, you should educate yourself about the current marketplace in your area, and the competition. In my personal experience, most Buyers do not want to buy a fixer-upper and if they do, they only want to purchase the fixer-upper at a substantially reduced price.  Buyers are looking for “move-in ready” homes and will pay top dollar for them.

A common strategy is to price the home slightly below market value for a quick sale. We are seeing multiple offers on these homes and quite often  they end up selling ABOVE the listing price. Asset managers are seeking the HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS, and quite often that means a cash buyer with no contingencies and a quick closing date will be selected. This can lead to 1st Timers becoming frustrated, as financing approvals can take 45 days for FHA Buyers. Many buyers are taking a second look... 08/23/2009
