The more “move-in ready” your home is, the more attractive it will be to buyers. Buyers like homes where they don’t have to worry about making repairs or big changes right away.
But does that mean you need to fix everything before selling? Not really.
For example, if your flooring needs to be replaced soon, it might affect how interested buyers are in your home. However, many homes sell with these kinds of issues.
What matters is the cost versus the benefit. For instance, painting is cheap but can make a big difference in how your home looks, so it’s a good value.
On the other hand, remodeling your kitchen can be expensive. While it might increase your home’s value, you may not get back all the money you spent when you sell.
So, before making any improvements, think about how much the project will cost, how much extra value it will add to your home, and how much faster it will sell.
