The appraisal is a crucial part of the home buying and selling process. As it is what lenders use to determine the value and amount of the loan. If the home appraises too low. The seller may have to reduce the purchase price or the buyer may have to pay the difference out of pocket. Of course the outcome is dependent on quite a few factors such as total amount of out of pocket costs, sellers bottom line. It’s important you and your Realtor are on the same page in order to get the best outcome in the situation.

Both moving and renovating can be stressful, and time-consuming. Consider your answer to the four questions below before you decide what the best decision is for your family.

1. Cost: Is it cheaper to renovate or move?
For many cost is a major factor in home improvement decisions. Whether or not it’s cheaper to renovate or sell depends on your current mortgage situation, as well as how much money you have in savings. Renovations come with immediate, out-of-pocket expenses, whereas moving can put money in your pocket now.

2. Emotional attachment: What will you miss about your home?
You and your family may be even more attached to your home than you realize. Consider these emotional implications, both on you and your other family members, before you decide.

3. Real estate market: Is it a good time to sell?
Even if it is cheaper for you to move as opposed to renovating, will you be getting the most out of your investment? There are also seasonal house selling trends to consider. Homes typically sell faster in spring and summer, and they’re more likely to sell at or above the asking price. (I’d be happy to schedule a strategy session to help you decide)

4. Timing: Is the timing right for you and your family?
It isn’t always feasible or rational given other life events happening to you and your family members. Consider that moving may mean changing school districts, commute routes, and mortgage costs.
Keep in mind that renovating your house comes with immediate expenses, with the average home remodel costing $46,503. If you are setting money aside for college savings or other finances, can you afford a costly renovation right now, or would it make sense to take advantage of your equity and sell for extra cash?

During our Strategy meeting we will cover all the facts so that you can make an informed decision on the best thing for you and your family. Click the link in by Bio to schedule a consultation!

Did you know?

As a seller there are certain things that can hurt the sale of your home or extend the amount of time it sits on the market. The first few weeks on the market are crucial for showings. As your home sits it looses its attractiveness on the market and can even cause buyers to offer less. Here are a few things to avoid when selling your home and give it the most visibility during its first few weeks.
