Selling Your House? Here's a Tip.
Did you know people decide to buy a house within the first sixty-seconds of looking at it? With so many homes on the market and so few buyers, you need to ensure your home is at the top of the food chain.
Steve Berges, a real estate investor in Michigan who buys dilapidated houses, fixes them up and sells them for a profit, has some advice for you - when renovating a house or preparing it for sale, spend money on things a buyer can see.
When Berges buys a house that he intends to fix up quickly and sell, he almost always has the interior repainted wall-to-wall and has the carpets and vinyl flooring replaced. Once, when he and his wife sold their own home, they didn't replace the carpets and regretted it.
"We thought that by offering a flooring allowance, a family could move in and select their own flooring," he writes. But he discovered that buyers don't want to select their own flooring. He already had bought a house and didn't want to be stuck with two mortgage payments, so he unloaded the old house quickly, for $10,000 less than he thought it was worth.
"For half that amount we could have replaced all of the flooring and sold the house for its market value," he writes. "People don't want to fool around with painting and replacing carpet and fixing the house up. In the world of fast food and instant gratification, people just want to buy a house and move in."
