Selling your home will be a difficult decision to make as it is hard to step back and look at your home with an unbiased eye. Five factors determine your home s value and we ll outline those below Location location location A great house in a bad location can decrease its home value as much as 50%. Also if yours is the biggest best-kept home in your mid-range neighborhood your home s price-per-square-foot will tend to be less than if it were the smallest home in a top-range neighborhood. It s also important to note how close freeways landfills shopping centers etc. are to the home as all these factors play a part in your home s value.Outdated Construction Appliances and Decor If your appliances are over 15 years old if your carpet has not been replaced since the 80s your home may appraise at up to 10% less than if you had updated them. Consider replacement costs versus allowances when placing your home on the market.Renters Has your property been a rental home Are the homes surrounding yours rental properties Often renters do not maintain a home as an owner would and this can decrease the value of your home. Major Upgrades Buyers don t want to pay for major unnecessary upgrades to a home. If you have recently upgraded your plumbing replaced your roof or installed a pool it s wise not to count on that increasing the value of your home. If the upgrade is necessary (i.e. a 40-year-old failing roof) it s important to do it but if a thorough repair can be made instead that is your best route to get the most out of your home s sale.Fencing The largest buyer-pool consists of families with children and pets and they want a safe enclosed place for both to play. If your home does not have a fenced-in backyard consider installing one prior to listing. Or if your fence is in disrepair this is the time to have it fixed or re-stained.Though so many things can decrease your home s value that are out of your control some simple things can increase it. Make your house as bright and appealing as possible with as much natural light indoors as you are able to bring in.
