How Much Is Too Much When Spending Money On Your Visalia Home Sale

There are a number of costs that go into a traditional home sale. Sometimes the expenses simply aren’t worth it. Learn more about what to expect in our latest post!

When homeowners to choose to put their houses on the MLS with a Visalia real estate agent, there are often costs they aren’t aware of and are unprepared for. Below we will discuss the costs you should expect with a traditional listing and when it makes sense to spend the money. We will also provide information about the alternatives out there that can benefit you!

Costs You Can Expect

Of course, there are the traditional costs homeowners can expect when selling houses in Visalia. You might factor in commissions and fixing up the property, but there can be costs far greater than that. A commission will usually eat up about 6% of your final sale price, which alone is a high amount of money. But when you add in things like professional cleaning, marketing, photography, staging, landscaping, and you holding costs for things like taxes, utilities, and insurance, you might find that it is better to sell the property sooner rather than later. And that’s not including the closing costs which will amount to another 1-3% of your final sale price on average! When listing your house in Visalia, the costs will vary based on the property and the competition. It is up to you to explore your selling options so you can ensure you are making the best decision for your situation and property.

When It Makes Sense To Spend

If your house needs little to no work and is in high demand, it can pay to list with a Visalia real estate agent. Make sure you are hiring both contractors and an agent whom you trust and can count on to get the job done for you. Paying for minimal repairs while feeling confident you will get your asking price is a no-brainer. However, if there is a lot of competition or if the property requires a lot of money to fix-up and repair it may not make sense to spend all the extra cash. Many people think that listing will be their best choice, but realistically, this isn’t always the case. Some properties will fare much better by being sold directly.

Alternatives To Listing Your House In Visalia

The best alternative to listing your house in Visalia is to sell it directly to a professional buyer. When you work with a professional buyer to sell your house directly, you will be able to avoid things like repairs, commissions, and the continued closing costs. When you add it all up, this can amount to thousands of dollars you are able to keep in your pocket! Selling directly also benefits those who don’t have the time to facilitate a traditional sale with a Visalia real estate agent. Some people need to sell their houses quickly, and in these cases, a listing may not be the best choice.
