With the increase in interest rates this year, many people have postponed selling their home. If you've pushed out your timeline and are still planning to sell, get those Fix-It lists ready!

There are several benefits to fixing household issues prior to listing a house for sale, including:

Increase the value of the property: By fixing household issues, the overall value of the property increases. Potential buyers are more likely to offer a higher price for a home that is in good condition.

Attract more buyers: A home that is in good condition will attract more potential buyers. By addressing any issues before listing, you increase the chances of selling your home quickly.

Prevent negotiations: If there are issues with your home, potential buyers may use them to negotiate a lower price. By fixing the issues beforehand, you can prevent these types of negotiations.

Make a good impression: When potential buyers view your home, they will be impressed by a property that is well-maintained and free of issues. This can create a positive impression and make them more likely to make an offer.

Sell your home faster: A home that is in good condition will typically sell faster than one that has issues. By addressing any issues before listing, you increase the chances of selling your home quickly.

Interest rates shot up on 6/15 and I'm definitely seeing a correlation of homes closing at list price prior to that date and homes closing below list price after that date. Those rates are not just a big deal to buyers, but to sellers, as well. You've got to price your home for the market that is, not the market that was!
