Buy With Selling In Mind

By
Real Estate Agent with Rinehart Realty

Most buyers will sell their homes within 5-10 years due to expanding families, job transfers, or other factors.  Keep an eye out for features that will fetch top dollar in any housing market.  Here are a few features to look for:

Look to the view:  Homes with an unencumbered view of nature or city lights sell higher than comparable homes without a view. 

The more the merrier:  Demand for homes with three or more bedrooms and at least two and a half bathrooms is greatest.

Busy landscaping:  Avoid property that is over-landscaped.  The money you'll invest to keep it up may outweigh the impact on property value.

Pool profits:  A pool can yield hours of family fun but don't expect it to increase resale value.  The expensive upkeep and safety issues regarding young children and pools may reduce the number of interested buyers at resale.

Let our experience at Rock Hill Homes help you find the right home for you, now AND later.
