Tips on Selling an Older Home

Posted by Admirals Cove Homes on Apr 16, 2013 in Home, Real Estate | 0 comments

Admirals Cove features a wide variety of homes in different styles, sizes, and years of age. Older homes have personality and character that many buyers are looking for. There is a certain stigma though that can be associated with older homes that could make a buyer nervous. Here are some tips to get people to forget about the possible negatives about selling and buying an older house.

Get an inspection- Typically it is the buyer who gets the inspection of the home. If your house is in good condition though, getting the inspection could increase your chances of landing a buyer.

Make your major repairs before listing- Even though some people like the task of renovations, most buyers want a home that is already ready to move in. Even though the return on investment on large repairs isn’t huge it could mean the difference between a quick sale and the house sitting on the market for too long.

Highlight the time period- The charm of an older home is usually the features it has based on when it was built. Highlighting these certain features and attributes can add to its charm and ultimately attract the right buyer.
