Should you make home improvements before selling or leave it as is for new owner

[Vishnuvardhan]

I’m curious about different perspectives on whether it’s worth investing in home improvements before selling or if it’s better to leave the house as is, considering the new owners might change everything regardless.

I think it really depends on the current state of the house. If the home has significant issues then making improvements can make a big difference. Minor repairs and a fresh coat of paint can make the property more appealing.

Small improvements can help a lot. However, spending too much on major renovations might not be worth it, especially if buyers have their own plans for the space.

Doing some basic improvements to ensure the house is in good condition is important. At the same time, you don’t want to invest too heavily in specific styles that may not appeal to everyone.

I’ve seen homes sell faster just because they look move-in ready. Simple things like updating the kitchen or bathroom fixtures can make a big difference without a huge investment.

some buyers prefer a blank canvas where they can implement their own ideas. If the house is structurally sound, sometimes it’s best to leave it as is and let the new owners handle the personalization.

Personally, I prefer buying a house that hasn’t been recently renovated so I can customize it to my taste. But for some, seeing a move-in ready home is a huge selling point.

It might also depend on the local market. In some areas, buyers expect certain updates, while in others, they’re more willing to renovate. Consulting with a local real estate agent can provide information about what’s best for your specific market.

Doing a cost-benefit analysis before deciding on any major renovations can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and ensure you’re making the most strategic improvements.
