You Will Pay When You Own Your Home Or You Will Pay When You Sell Your Home

You Will Pay When You Own Your Home Or You Will Pay When You Sell Your Home

You will pay the cost of maintaining and upgrading your home while you own your home.

Alternatively, if you do not make the investment while you own your home to maintain and upgrade it, then you will pay, at least, the same amount when you sell your home.

Obviously, a home which has not had proper maintenance or a home which has not been upgraded over time to more modern and efficient systems will not be as valuable as a home which has had these things done.

At the time of selling, not only will the home be, at least, lower in value by as much as the cost of these now necessary and required improvements, but it is likely that most buyers would want to pay even less for the home since they will have the hassle of having to do these things themselves.

If a seller does not recognize this fact, and many do not, and thinks that they can price their home similar to the homes which have been upgraded and maintained, then their home will simply sit for days and days on the market with no offers.

It would be nice if home owners did not have to make investments in their homes while they owned them and still be able to get top dollar for them when they sold them, but it does not work that way.

So, you can pay now or you can pay later, but you will pay.
