Can I Sell My Home That Needs Repairs?

 

Simple Improvements

Walls, Doors, and Trim

Repairing small cracks or holes, painting walls a neutral colour, touching up trim and painting doors are all simple improvements that will give your home a fresh new look.

 

Hardware Changes

Cabinet Hardware in the kitchen and bathroom is an easy update that can give cabinets and drawers a modern look, for a reasonable price.

 

Exterior Cleanup

Curb appeal will help attract buyers the second they approach the home! Clean up walkways, gardens, and shrubs to open up the exterior of your home and make entrances inviting.

 

Moderate Upgrades

Brighten It Up

Light fixtures are a versatile improvement, modernizing spaces or providing a centerpiece in the room. Make sure any broken fixtures are replaced, and old fixtures that are staying have been thoroughly cleaned.

 

New Faucets

Faucets in the bathroom, kitchen or laundry room can give an updated look without a costly renovation. Consider eco-friendly faucet upgrades as an added feature when listing.

 

Fresh Exterior

Repair or Repave driveways and walkways to give a welcoming appearance as potential buyers approach your home. You should always keep garage doors clean, maintained and operating properly for potential buyers.

 

Large Repairs

Significant Repairs

Selling is still an option! Your REALTOR® can help explain what repairs are necessary, or have potential to provide a better sale price if completed before listing.

 

Purchase Plus Improvements

Disclosing necessary repairs when listing your home has potential to attract buyers who are interested in a purchase plus improvements mortgage. This allows the buyer to include the cost to complete necessary repairs within their mortgage overall.

 

Home Inspections

Get a sound third party review of your home, from a professional home inspector. They can provide you with a report of any potential issues that may come up during the purchasing process. When you know what needs to be repaired, you and your REALTOR® can weigh the costs of renovating or repairing your home to add value before listing.
