People in Seattle ask me all the time, “How much has to be done to my house before I put it on the market?"
This freaks people out sometimes. Homeowners have lived in their homes for five to 20 years and they know every single thing wrong with the house, and some that they haven’t paid attention to. It can prevent some sellers from listing.
What I recommend is letting me come over and take a look at what your property is worth compared to other houses around it. Then, we can determine which repairs make sense to do, if any. In this hot market, people are pounding down my door for fixers. Your house might not be a fixer, but it may need a roof or furnace or some landscaping, and you really don’t want to do it. It’s not going to affect us putting it on the market, but it is going to affect the price.

It might be worth it to accept $5,000 less for your house and let somebody else deal with the problems. On the other hand, some people don’t like to sell their home if it’s not in good shape. There are a couple of options there, starting with a pre-inspection, so we know what we’re dealing with. This can also help you get more money and sell quicker.
We can also get an appraisal, because sometimes a house is worth more than comparable homes because of quality or features. We recently had a home listed at higher than $600,000 around other homes that were worth $450,000. Why? The homeowner was a builder for 25 years, so the home was stunning. It had crown molding throughout, the best carpet and top-of-the-line appliances, and we ended up getting $660,000 for the house within 30 days. The appraisal was a big part of that.
The best thing to do is simply pick up the phone and call me. I can tell you what is and isn’t necessary to get your home sold. Now is a great time to be a seller!
