I know... I know .... why should you invest more money when the buyers are just going to come in and make changes.
The answer is simple .... to sell as quickly as possible and for the best possible price!
I met a couple today who have lived in their home for 20+ years. They are selling in hopes of finding the perfect retirement community. Wanted ... one floor bungalow or ranch on a moderately sized lot.
When they moved in they made changes to their home like installing some wonderful hardwood. Their decor is very 'country' early 90's.
It was hard for them to hear that their home may not have broad appeal to today's buyers. They are not eager to remove wallpaper and wallpaper borders to paint.
These sellers need to listen because their town has a lot of new development. Buyers can choose from new builds and many recently built homes with all the latest 'I wants'. Their immediate neighborhood's draw is the lot sizes and the mature trees. Sellers of older homes need to update paint, kitchens and bathrooms. Harvest gold isn't going to cut it!
Sellers must realize they are competing in a tough market these days. Sellers must meet Buyer expectations or get left on the shelf.
