Expenses To Expect Before Selling Your Candlewood Lake Home

Expenses To Expect Before Selling Your Candlewood Lake Home

 

Most homeowners think of the profit they will make after selling their Candlewood Lake home, without being aware that it also costs money to sell a home.

These are some expenses to expect before selling your Candlewood Lake home.

Aside from the real estate agent’s commission and closing costs, there are also expenses to expect even before you list your Candlewood Lake Danbury CT home.

Here is a list of the usual upfront expenses that may seem expensive at first but are actually important investments in the long run in making sure that your home sells for the highest amount possible.

1. Paint. One of the least expensive ways to make your home look fresh and new is to repaint it. Choose neutrals and say away from loud and  bold colors. Ask the help of a real estate agent or a professional stager to advise you on the best colors to use.

2. Repairs. Repairing or replacing broken windows, stained carpeting, and other remodeling and maintenance work are necessary for your home to sell at a better price. Buyers prefer homes that will give them the least problems and is move-in ready. Make sure your Candlewood Lake home is in its best condition before the home inspector comes.

3. Staging. Hiring a professional stager is an option that most sellers take if they have the budget for it. A professionally staged home will definitely attract and impress buyers. Hiring a stager can cost you a few thousand dollars but it will pay off in the long term since some buyers are actually willing to pay more for staged homes.

4. Window washing. Clean, sparkling windows actually do much in making a huge difference in buyers’ perceptions of your home for sale in Candlewood Lake. Hiring a professional window washer will cost you a few hundred dollars, depending on the size and height of your home and the number of windows.

5. Landscaping. Buyers pay particular attention to your yard or garden. If you do not have the time to maintain it, you can hire someone to tidy it up, get it raked, and prune your trees and shrubs. If it hasn’t been landscaped yet, add some flowery plants and put in some new sod.

6. Pre-inspection reports. Although hiring a professional termite/ pest inspector is not really required and buyers usually pay for their own inspectors, there may still be situations when you might need to have the house inspected before letting buyers in, like if you have owned your Candlewood Lake property for many years. It’s better to find out any problems and fix them before buyers get a chance to get upset over them. Inspections can cost $200 or more.

7. Lighting and Heating bills. If you are vacating your home while it is on the market, expect to pay double for utilities until your Candlewood Lake home is sold. You will want to leave the lights and heat on in your home for sale or program them to stay on during showing hours. Buyers get turned off quickly by cold, dark houses.

These are just some of the expenses you could expect before you even put up your Candlewood Lake home for sale. Being aware of these expenses will help you prepare your finances and get an estimate of the net profit you can expect after the sale of your home.
