New survey on buyer trends…
This is for sellers and not too many surprises except one, most buyers are no longer willing to even look at homes in need of renovations. Avocado kitchen or dated bathroom? Most buyers are not even coming in the door. In need of other renovations or yard upkeep? Nope, most are also not coming in the door. Thats the only big change from previous surveys where buyers would generally look at homes even of they needed work, not so much so based on this survey. The rest are generally common sense but show the need for home preparation prior to putting that sign in the yard.
– 63% avoid even “viewing” a home that needs repairs or renovations.
– Mold or dampness anywhere in the house and most buyers will walk away.
– Any odors in the house and again, buyers are leaving.
– Problematic location such as being on a busy street, close to unsightly homes or vacant lots will chase away buyers.
– Outdated design choices, another sale killer.
– Evidence of pests. This goes without saying right?
This survey is further confirmation you need expert guidance in preparing your home for sale.
