What home improvements can add value to your home when trying to sell ? The best person to determine that may be you. If you know you need a new roof then address it. If you are attempting to get the best price for the property then be aware of the properties that are for sale around you. If the property down the street has a new roof and you are priced to draw the same potential buyers interest and are comparibly priced then it may be a subject you want to address by getting the repairs done or make clear when advertising that a credit would be made toward a new roof. You should be aware of all the properties that are on the market or have recently sold. By comparing your property to their property should help you determine the value. You may want to ride by properties that have sold to help you determine their condition. The condition of properties are and have been a determing factor to any offer.
Don’t turn a blind eye to unsightly repairs. Review your property as if you were the buyer. If you can move from seller to buyer it will help you see things that you may have otherwise missed. Repair cost versus value. How much more would you give if a home was in move in condition versus one that may take months to repair before moving in. Any buyer is going to want to be compensated for his or her time for repairs.
