5 Reasons to Tackle Inspection Repairs Prior to Listing

Writer's picture: Melissa HerdmanMelissa Herdman


Higher Selling Price: Repairing inspection issues before listing your house can potentially increase its value. Prospective buyers are willing to pay more for a house that is in good condition and doesn't require immediate repairs.


Attract More Buyers: A house that is in good shape is more appealing to potential buyers. It shows that the house has been well-maintained, which can attract more interest and lead to more offers.


Faster Sale: Houses that don't require repairs tend to sell faster. Buyers often want to move in as soon as possible, and the prospect of having to make repairs can delay the process.


Avoid Negotiations and Re-negotiations: If you tackle inspection repairs before listing, you can avoid the back-and-forth negotiations that often occur when buyers request that repairs be made or the selling price be lowered to account for the cost of repairs.


Peace of Mind: Addressing inspection issues upfront can give you peace of mind. You won't have to worry about potential buyers finding problems during their own inspections, which could lead to deals falling through.


Remember, the goal is to make the house as appealing as possible to a wide range of potential buyers. By addressing inspection repairs before listing, you can present a well-maintained, turn-key property that can command a higher price and sell more quickly.
