Should you Make Cosmetic Renovations Before Selling your House?
The short answer is YES!
According to the National Association of Realtors, millennials make up the largest home-buying demographic right now. And a first-time homebuyer survey by TD Bank indicates that 71% of millennial homebuyers want a move-in ready home.
Most buyers aren’t looking for a renovation project when they are looking for a new house. Cosmetic renovations are a great way to increase the value and sell your home faster.
- First impressions sell! Updated properties are more attractive to potential buyers.
- Updates can increase the overall value of the house. Buyers want homes that are move-in ready – and they are willing to pay for it.
- New lighting fixtures, flooring, and some fresh paint make a home that stands out from the competition and sells faster!
If you’re on the fence about making updates, do it. They usually pay for themselves – and more!
