We’ve talked a lot about the necessity of showing your home in great condition. This is critical in a Buyers’ Market, but you can have too much of a good thing. It is important to keep in mind that you can be pouring money into improvements that won’t significantly affect the sales price you will get for your San Mateo County home.
To help you begin to understand what repairs you should consider, HomeGain.com has released a Home Sales Maximizer, an online tool designed to help you decide which repairs and improvements will actually increase the value of your San Mateo County home, but does it work?
We tested it out and we think it’s a great tool to help you take inventory of the possible improvements that could (or should) be made. As for the results, they’re mixed. When it comes down to it, it’s important to take into consideration many unique factors, such as home location, local market performance, etc., to really determine which improvements will pay off. A local real estate professional can really help with this, and we’d recommend giving us a call if you are thinking about selling. My team and I give complimentary home evaluations to help potential San Mateo County sellers understand their options.
We love the advancements that the internet has brought to the table in San Mateo County real estate, but remember that in the end, you have to get offline and make your transaction happen.
