cabinets and a tile floor. • Both units had nice hardwood floors in the living room, and carpeted bedrooms. Each important detail of these two townhomes was identical, so I studied every aspect of these sales to find what made the difference.
This is why one home sold for $40,000 more than the other:
• Townhome A was professionally staged, giving it a more appealing appearance. • The agent selling Townhome A took higher-quality, more attractive photos of the home. Those two seemingly small actions made the $40,000 difference! The buyers of Townhome A made a higher offer because the agent presented the home in a more appealing and attractive way.
CONSIDER UPGRADES
Upgrades is one of the trickiest parts of preparing your house for flipping. Remodeling and upgrading your home might bring you a better price and reduce the number of days your home sits on the market.
Or not.
Sometimes, people spend a lot of money remodeling a kitchen or adding a bath and still have trouble selling their house, only now they’ve poured more money into their home and need to get a higher price to recoup remodeling costs.
Some remodels add more value to a home than others.
