Just check with your local real estate agent to make sure this move makes sense in your market. If everyone’s shopping for three-bedroom homes, and you’ve been rocking two... congrats, your value just spiked. But if everyone’s downsizing and looking for one-bedroom love nests, maybe hold off. We don’t need to turn your sunroom into a sleeping bag showroom. Now for the Not-So-Fun But Super Important Stuff: Mechanical Mayhem I get it—you’ve spent all your energy on pretty paint colors, throw pillows, and perfectly folded towels. But your house also needs to work.
Think:
• Electrical systems • Plumbing • HVAC • Gas lines
If your pipes are leaking, your wiring’s from the ‘70s, or your A/ C is screaming like it’s dying a slow death, buyers are gonna notice. And not in a good way. Even if your house looks like a spa retreat, buyers don’t want it to smell like mildew or electrocute them when they plug in a toaster. According to the NAR, 83% of buyers care deeply about heating and cooling systems. That’s a lot of sweaty, shivering, HVAC- loving humans. And they’re your audience.
So, What Should You Do?
