WANT TO SELL YOUR HOME? MAKE THOSE NECESSARY REPAIRS!

As important as understanding who the buyer of your home might be in today’s market, it’s also wise to make repairs or improvements that rank high in a buyer’s mind. According to a study realized by HomeGain, the online real estate marketing provider, there are four areas on which to focus when selling your home. Clean and de-clutter; lighten and brighten; stage and landscape front/back yards and HomeGain estimates you’ll get top ROI (return on investment) for your expense, as much as or more than 578 percent for cleaning and de-cluttering; 340 percent for staging and 451 percent for landscaping. Rounding out this study is a list of the top repairs you’ll want to make too: Repair electrical or plumbing problems, replace or shampoo carpeting; paint interior and exterior walls, repair damaged flooring, and update kitchen and bathrooms. In fact, by spending $5,000 to $8,000 on repairs and improvements, such as these, HomeGain says the return can be as high as a $21,470 increase on the price of a three bedroom, two bath home in the South.
