Is Your Home In “Move In” Condition?

 

 

When buyers view your home, they ask themselves whether they like it. Assuming that the answer is "yes", they try to determine how much work would be required before they could move in.

It’s not uncommon for a buyer to be interested in a property but be turned off by the perceived amount of work required. In fact, this can sometimes discourage a buyer from even making an offer.

That’s why ensuring your home is in as “move in” condition as

possible is so advantageous. It will help sell your home faster and,

often, for a better price.

 

So what does “move in” condition mean? It means that there are no

repairs or maintenance issues that need to be addressed immediately.

Buyers can be discouraged by seemingly minor issues, such as a l

oose closet shelf or a lightly dripping shower head. So it’s important to

get those little repairs done before showing your home.

 

Buyers will also likely want to know the age of your furnace, water

heater and other appliances, in order to anticipate when they will

need to be repaired or replaced. If you have transferrable warranties

for any of these items, be sure to let buyers know.

 

A fresh coat of paint is one of the best investments you can make in

preparing your home for sale. More than any other repair or

renovation, a coat of paint can make just about any room look

almost new and move-in ready.

 

Buyers are sometimes worried about having to purchase new

window coverings. If your window coverings will stay with the home,

make that clear to buyers too.

 

Generally, the more you can do to make your home seem ready to

move in, the better.
