\"Getting<\/p>\n

In a market that\u2019s shifting<\/a> as fast as it is today, many homeowners wonder what, if anything, needs to be renovated before they sell their house<\/a>. That\u2019s where a trusted real estate professional comes in. They can help you think through today\u2019s market conditions and how they impact what you should \u2013 and shouldn\u2019t \u2013 do before selling your house.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some considerations a professional will guide you through.<\/p>\n

What You Need To Know About Your Local Market<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Since the supply of homes for sale<\/a> has increased so much this year, today\u2019s buyers have more options than they had last year. That may mean you\u2019re not able to ignore some of those repairs or cosmetic updates you could have skipped in previous months. As a recent article from realtor.com<\/em> says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTo stand out in the market, sellers should make their home attractive to buyers, which usually means some selective updates.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The key word here is selective<\/em>. Since it\u2019s still a sellers\u2019 market<\/a>, focusing on a few key areas may be enough to make your house stand out from other options. And since inventory is still low overall, it\u2019s also possible buyers may be willing to handle the renovations themselves once they move in. It all depends on buyer demand and the available inventory in your local area. For advice on what\u2019s happening in your market and what to do to make your house show well, lean on a professional.<\/p>\n

Not All Renovation Projects Are Equal <\/strong><\/h4>\n

In addition to making sure your house makes a good first impression, you\u2019ll also want to consider the return on your investment (ROI) for any renovations. According to the 2022 Remodeling Impact Report<\/em><\/a> from the National Association of Realtors <\/em>(NAR), here are the projects that could net you the best return when you sell your house (see visual below<\/em>):<\/p>\n

\"Getting<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, your real estate advisor is your best resource. When your agent comes to your house for a walk-thru and consultation, they\u2019ll use their expertise to offer any insight into what you may need to repair, replace, or refinish. They also know what other sellers are doing before listing their homes and how buyers are reacting to those upgrades to help steer you in the right direction. As Dr. Jessica Lautz, Vice President of Demographics and Behavioral Insights for NAR, explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis year, the winner was hardwood flooring. Hardwood floor refinishing and putting in new wood flooring had the most significant value, . . .\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How To Draw Buyer Attention to the Upgrades You\u2019ve Made <\/strong><\/h4>\n

For any projects you\u2019ve already completed or for those you plan to do before listing, make sure your real estate professional<\/a> knows. They\u2019re not just an advisor to help you decide where to focus your efforts, they\u2019re also skilled at highlighting any upgrades in your listing. That way, potential buyers know about the features that may help sell them on the house.<\/p>\n

No matter what, contact a local real estate professional for expert advice on what work needs to be done and how to make it as appealing as possible to future buyers. Every home is different, so a conversation with your agent is mission-critical to make sure you make the right moves when selling this season.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In today\u2019s shifting market, it\u2019s important to spend your time and money wisely when you\u2019re getting ready to move. Let\u2019s connect to find out where to focus your efforts before you sell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
