Debunking 5 Home-Selling Myths by Andy Sachs

Kitchens and bathrooms continue to be the best places to spend your money when renovating a home, according to the 2017 Remodeling Impact Report, a report by the National Association of Realtors. The report found the top three projects that appeal to buyers and are most likely to add value for resale are as follows:

- Complete Kitchen Renovation

- Kitchen Upgrade

- Bathroom Renovation

Regular maintenance and attention to detail help any home, even if outdated in style, appeal to buyers. Chris Haggerty, builder and Realtor, explains how paint and trim can make a big difference when selling a house.

If you ask a buyer what the hardest part of a transaction was, many times you will hear them talk about the home inspection. Inspections bring up emotions and can lead to disappointment when not approached with the right mindset.

After your home goes under contract, expect the inspection to take place within two weeks. The inspector’s job is to be thorough when looking for issues. Plan on the inspector staying at your house between two and four hours.

Sellers are often afraid that if their house doesn’t sell within the first 30 days, the only thing we can do is reduce the price. The Around Town Team doesn’t take that approach. By looking at the listing holistically, we are able to determine what is working and what isn’t, and work to develop a plan our sellers feel comfortable with.
