By now any homeowner should know what is happening in the real estate market. It is on the news daily, in magazines, newspapers, and discussed frequently by the "experts".
HGTV dedicates shows to homeowners who endure ridicule from potential homebuyers on the condition of their home. They in turn spend money and time upgrading their home to ready it for sale. The results are usually positive.
With all of this information available why do many homeowners put up a "wall" when upgrading is discussed on their particular home?
Barb and I have sold over $4 million dollars in real estate for 2010. Based on these sales we can tell you where our success has been in home sales.
The home is either a foreclosure or short sale. If not then the home has undergone upgrading and updating.
It is that simple.
The buyers are still in control. I repeat the buyers are still in control. What they want is a resale home with the latest and greatest included. That means granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwoods, updated master bathrooms, and mounted flat screen televisions.
They do not have the time, money, or imagination to renovate themselves. They want the home move in ready.
If you are considering listing your home in the North Metro Atlanta area give Barb and I a call. We will tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear.
