If you want to sell your home soon, you may be keeping a list of things to do around the house before you put it on the market. Changing your landscaping, painting the exteriors, and getting rid of clutter are all easy ways to save money on home improvements. But what about replacing or fixing your roof?
Investing in roofing work before listing your home for sale has its benefits. Triangle Home Exteriors, explains them here.
Increase Your Asking Price
While you may have a price point in mind based on the cost of your home upon purchase and the repairs and renovations you’ve made in the past, you can increase it when you have your roof replaced prior to listing your property for sale. The fact that you have a newly-installed roof is a great way to attract potential buyers to your home. It is, after all, among the many factors that they consider when making purchasing decisions.
Minimize Negotiations
Taking care of the roof repair or replacement allows you to have the upper hand during your negotiations with a potential buyer. A new roof, in fact, can be used to justify the increased price point. The opposite occurs, however, if you leave your roof as it is before putting your property up for sale. Going that route, unfortunately, can lead to negotiations that won’t be in your best interest.
Prevent Issues During Inspection
Disregarding roofing work can come back to haunt you after an inspector deems your roof to be in bad condition. You may risk losing a potential buyer if they find that the roof has issues that require immediate attention. And, just like discussed above, they may have to negotiate with you.
