A Seller's Conflict about Home Improvement

Investing in home improvement while your home is on the market isn’t fun, but it could help Sell your house fast to potential clients. Real estate agents tend to have multiple ways they can work to sell the property on the right schedule and for the highest price. Some minor upgrades for your home, coupled with some aesthetic photography by a reliable real estate photographer should help you to sell your house faster. You should, however, start off with the renovations you deem fit for the house first!

Some renovations will be bigger and more costly than others, the size of them really depends on the property’s condition. Sometimes putting a new carpet in is enough to glam up the house whereas other times you need to take down a wall, hire skip bins sutherland shire, replace the decking, hire an electrician, the list goes on. It’s all about calculating the ROI and seeing if it’s worth the money and time.

Like many sellers, our home has been on the market…for a while. Correction — quite a while. We’re desperate to just get a removals firm like this mover in austin tx to come and take all of our belongings to a new house, but as we might be here for a while longer, we decided to finally tackle building a fence. This is the project we had always planned on doing. After years of living without a fence and never able to let the little ones play outside without adult supervision, what better timing then to build a fence — for someone else to enjoy! How many sellers out there have delayed a big project because you didn’t want to spend the money and exert the effort if you were just going to sell and move away? Besides, maybe all the potential buyers out there wouldn’t mind a house with no fence?? right?

This is THE fence under construction. This is the perfect fence for you, and it comes with a house! Make me an offer I can't refuse.


Now, it’s important to weigh out the cost/benefit analysis of tackling any major home improvement project. When you’re in the midst of selling your home, it’s even more critical to evaluate the investment. In our situation, we’re not going to increase our asking price once the fence is in place, but it will effectively increase our home’s value and desirability to potential buyers at the current price. So we are in fact creating “value,” just not the sort we can deposit into the checking account. Mmm, I love that kind of value.

Does anyone disagree or have thoughts about investing cash and hard work into your property while trying to sell? We’d love to hear your stories or comments!
