To Fix it or Not? That is the Question for Columbia SC Real Estate Sellers

Sitting back, remember that house you grew up in.  The great shades of Avocado green, that ‘Brady Bunch’ oven that you could fit one, or maybe two tv dinners in?  Those where the days….well guess what!  Now it is 2008.

All but the most optomistic people within Columbia SC Real Estate will tell you that we are in a buyers market.  Guess what, we are!  People, we are in a buyers market!

I have been in houses within the Columbia SC Real Estate Market that I would not let my dogs go in, yet I have been in some houses that I would dream to live in!

Buyers have tons of inventory to choose from.  Will yours be one they like?

Ask yourself one simple question: Should I fix it?  I would.

Do you have chipped paint?  How about blinds that are yellowing with age…or gunk.   What about that baseboard your dog chewed on.  Should you fix it?  I would.

How’s your carpet?  Does it need to be re-stretched?  What about the stains?  What about the fact that it is red shag from the 1970’s.  Should you replace it?  I would.

Lets talk about your kitchen for a minute.  It is the center of the home. You know those cabinets that are a dark, grainy brown?  What about that avocado ‘Brady Bunch Style’ oven.  Should you fix them?  YES!

In the Columbia SC Real Estate Market there are so many choices.  YOU have to be sure that you are in the running with the buyers out there.

Go through your house.  Ask yourself, “Do I want this in my new house?”  If the answer is NO, then guess what…Fix IT!

This is the kitchen we want.  Clean, solid, smooth.   Columbia SC Real Estate Buyers are especially picky.  Unless you plan on knocking several percent off the price, do the little things that matter!

On a personal note.  I will be out of town Friday May 9th through Saturday May 10th.  You can always reach me via email, phone (I will check my messages and respond), Twitter, and Facebook.
