According to reporting at US News, it\u2019s true: buyers will pay more for move-in ready homes than they\u2019ll pay for homes that need work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The main takeaway here is simple. If you want to sell your home that needs some minor repairs, you\u2019ll definitely want to take care of them in order to maximize your final selling price. Here\u2019s a list of four things you should fix before you sell your home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1.\u00a0 Repair Leaks and Water Damage<\/strong><br \/>\nLeaky water heaters, faucets and air conditioners can lead to massive problems with mildew and mold contamination. You definitely want to avoid those value-killers, so it\u2019s wise to repair any problems that result in water damage immediately. Professional providers can help you repair or upgrade any faulty HVAC equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Insulate Your Attic with Fiberglass Insulation<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have an attic and it isn\u2019t insulated already, you\u2019ll more than likely end up further ahead if you take care of getting it insulated before you list your home for sale. According to the annual remodeling report, homeowners tend to get back 116% of their investments when they perform this task.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Replace a Battered Exterior with Manufactured Stone Veneer<\/strong><br \/>\nIf the fa\u00e7ade of your house has seen better days, it\u2019ll likely pay off for you to repair the problems before you put your house on the market. If you need to replace the fa\u00e7ade completely, consider doing the job with manufactured stone veneer. If you spend about $7,500 to install new stone veneer, you\u2019re likely to recover somewhere around 93% of what you shell out for the job at the time of resale.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Replace a Damaged Front Door<\/strong><br \/>\nYou know what they say about how crucial curb appeal is when selling a residence, and the front door is an integral part of that all-important curb appeal. It\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll be able to get back upwards of 80% of the cash you spend on a new front door.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The exact figure varies slightly depending on where you live and what material the door is made of; apparently, it\u2019s a bit easier to recover the cash spent on a steel door than it is for a fiberglass door, as homeowners tend to be able to recover around 91% of their costs on a steel door versus only 82% of their costs on a fiberglass door.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By now we\u2019re positive you\u2019re convinced of the need for repairing your home before you list it for sale. We hope you\u2019ll maximize your home\u2019s selling price using this brief checklist we\u2019ve provided. Best wishes for a speedy and profitable sale.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/realtybiznews.com\/maximizing-value-4-things-you-should-fix-before-you-sell-your-home\/98735991\/\" target=\"_blank\">Maximizing Value : Things You Should Fix Before You Sell Your Home<\/a> by Anica Oaks | Realty Biz News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that, on average, homeowners lose out on receiving about $15,000 on the sale price of their homes if they leave $5,000 worth of repairs undone before listing &hellip;
