Yesterday, I went to a Broker's Open House.
The agent who has this home listed is in my office. I toured the home and noticed some things that could be done to update this property.
This was my feedback to the listing agent:
"I enjoyed viewing the property that you have listed. This is in a great location and a wonderful neighborhood. It is a lovely home and you can tell that the owners have taken very good care of it. It has good curb appeal, a great open floorplan with the high ceilings that make it appear even more spacious. It also has a nice size lot. My major concern is the lack of granite countertops. When this home was built, it was not as popular to put in granite countertops, but today people are expecting them in this price range. Another thing to update the home would be to install new ceiling fans and new light fixtures in something other than brass."
This is a dilemna because if you spend five thousand dollars, are you going to get it back? This is the same question a lot of sellers are asking themselves. It might be better to just keep reducing the price until it becomes attractive enough for someone to buy.
What makes the most sense? Please give me your feedback. What's a homeowner to do?
