Remodeling Before Selling
One of the most common complaints Outer Banks Realtors get from buyers is that very few homes have the updates they desire. Why is that? Most people who own here don’t live in their homes full time. As a result, older model appliances, décor and cabinetry are often overlooked. Owners justify keeping their home this way because they only use that home a few months of the year. Even if they are tired of the old look, once they get back to their primary residence these older items are no longer top of mind. Most buyers don’t want to spend extra outlay of time, energy and money shortly after they invest a large amount in the purchase. They also may not know someone they can trust like Sandmark Construction. If you have a plan to sell sometime in the next five to seven years, then it’s a good idea to get updates completed as soon as possible. Those updates will help your home stand out among the competition and you’ll also be able to use those updates before you sell. Even if it is just replacing the flooring and paint to more contemporary finishes, it will make a difference in buyer desirability.
