Air Conditioning Necessity in Home Buying
There is no doubt that home buyers know what they want when house hunting. Sellers need to understand that certain fixes in a home prior to selling make all the difference. In the summer season it is air conditioning in a home in the Northeast. There is no way to adequately smile well without perspiring in an upstairs of a home that has no air conditioning and just a ceiling fan while showing homes! Buy the air conditioning window units at least to make your home showable I say to sellers!
I was showing a great two story home that had an addition on it upstairs where, unfortunately, they decided not to add central air. The lower level of the home had the central air. So showing a non- air conditioned upstairs is a deal breaker for buyers in 88 degree heat and humidity. This house in question had been seen by the home buyers on another cooler day when the upstairs level of the home was fine. What a difference a day makes!! Yes, these are the items that if they were not discovered early on after an accepted offer would come out during the home inspection process. Better sooner than later.
Please home sellers heed your real estate agent and your gut feeling about what a difference air conditioning makes in a home. Noone is asking sellers to automatically add central air, although that would be a great solution, but take steps to mitigate the temperatures to make your home livable and cooler to buyers. Buyers smile well when it is cooler in the house on a hot summer day especially in RI real estate.
Guess what your real estate agent's possibility of selling the home goes up immeasurably when you deal with items like cooling systems the right way.
