Your home is your greatest asset
In life and real estate, it is often said that your principal place of residence is possibly your biggest asset. As a passionate industry professional I find this true for so many people in the community whom we get the chance to represent.
With this in mind, it is important that as a property owner, you do all you can to maintain the property throughout its lifetime. To protect and grow your asset, so at the time of eventual sale you receive the best possible cash profit from your investment.
Your home could deliver you a tax-free windfall
Selling your home is a valuable opportunity for wealth and profit. Therefore, a chance of a tax-free gain is rare and should be seized with both hands.
Clean and sparkling homes sell well
If you do the work for a potential buyer and your property is clean, crisp, complete and:
- is well maintained and freshly painted
- has manicured lawns and the gutters and downpipes are free from rust and holes
- the eaves are spotless and fresh
This could have a significant impact at sale time. Everyone is so busy, potential buyers are prepared to pay for somebody else's sweat and effort. Profit from that!
A home that doesn't require work is an attractive prospect
Maintaining and preparing your home for profit is a successful strategy for everyone involved. Often incoming purchasers are stretched to their limit and would not qualify for a renovation loan. This is the reason why people will pay more for a finished, neat and well-maintained property.
Getting your house appraised
After the final preparations to get your house as attractive as possible, it is time to get it appraised. We recommend going to Burke & Smyth for the appraisal. After meeting with their friendly staff and finding out what your property is worth, you can then go to the bank to see how much money you can borrow, or come to us at Single Builders to have a look at one of our beautiful house plans, which you can see here. We also have land for sale where you can build your dream home. If you would like to see the land we have available, you can find those here.
If you would like to talk to our friendly staff about our house plans, or the land we have for sale. Contact us today.
