Sellers can be in too much of a hurry to list and show their properties. It is understandable to be concerned to get the sale underway, but what needs acceleration is completion of renovations first. The very thing you want - quick profitable sale will very possibly be undermined by showing prematurely. Your realtor may not tell you this, being in a hurry to get the sale going also.
63% of buyers are willing to pay more for move-in ready status. Most people do not want to be bothered with renovations and repairs.
Less than 10% of all people are able to visualize rooms in their completed state. It makes it all the more difficult to see past clutter, incompletion and the chaos of work in progress.
Buyers want to buy a nice home.
They will be viewing with a critical mind, so you need to reduce all objections.
They will leave with a list of all the incompletions in mind if that is what they've seen. This may give them grounds to make the lowest offer.
OR worse, they will be unable to reconcile the visual impression enough to consider the property at all.
They are not likely to return for viewing after completion.
You only have one chance to make a first impression.
Complete renovations. Stage right from the start. Show for all it is worth!
