Most buyers want a house that is move in ready and will not require alot of updating. Could this be why your house is priced lower than the others it is competing with? If so, you may want to consider some low cost ways to improve the appearance of your home. - Sat Aug 30 2008, 08:27
Make sure it is priced right, looks better than its competition and is marketed effectively. - Thu Aug 28 2008, 09:51
Let me start by saying that some of what is portrayed on HGTV is not realistic in terms of time or cost required to stage a home. Your best bet is to find a stager in your area and contact them to provide you with a proposal for costs associated with your project. Staging can definitely help your property stand out from the competition and a professional stager can make recommendations to help you get the most return on your investment. Best of luck! - Thu Aug 28 2008, 09:14
Most buyers start their home search on line. Make sure the pictures posted on the MLS are appealing and show the best features of your house. Curb appeal is critical as well. If buyers don't like what they see online or on the drive by, they will move on to the next property in the same area and price range. - Wed Aug 27 2008, 13:12
I would recommend replacing before listing, although I think your option of having them choose the carpet is a creative alternative. What doesn't work is giving buyers an "allowance" for carpet replacement. Most want a house that is move in ready and do not want to be bothered with having to replace it after settlement. You do need to consider how the house shows with the present carpet. First impressions of your home are critical, so if the carpet is a real turn off for potential buyers change it now. - Sat Aug 16 2008, 07:05
