It’s probably not because there’s something fundamentally wrong with the house. It may come down to how buyers perceive the amount of work they’ll need to do after closing.
A remodel can help you reposition your home at the top of the market by giving buyers an option for a complete home, not a project.
If your home still has all original fixtures, tile, countertops and appliances, it may be time for an update.
Even if spaces are perfectly functional, buyers will expect them to be current or they will be mentally calculating a steep discount.
If a house looks dated, buyers tend to assume the renovation costs will be higher than they actually are. Instead of thinking a home needs $50,000 worth of improvements, a buyer may mentally budget $150,000 or more, possibly pushing it beyond their reach and leading them to move on to homes that feel more “move-in ready.”
Armed with this case study, our client is now back on the market for a home that is a deal with potential. She will apply the same lessons from her Bluebonnet home to find her next home in the location she wants and renovate it into the home she wants.
We offer free onsite consultations for agents and homeowners to help identify improvements that could help your home sell faster and for a better price. With decades of experience as spec builders, we know what works and we know what sells.
Let’s explore your options
We added two bedrooms, an ADA-accessible bathroom, detached garage, and integrated ramp system to help this couple safely and comfortably remain in the neighborhood they love. See what we did and how much it cost.
The finishes weren’t exactly what they wanted, but the price was too good to pass up. The savings were enough to renovate and create the home they wanted. All it took was a bit of vision. See what we did and how much it cost.
Instead of overpaying for someone else’s vision, our client bought a property in the neighborhood she wanted and transformed it into the home she wanted. See what we did and how much it cost.
