Before selling a home in Las Vegas, it needs to be in good condition for you to get the most out of it. This is because no one would like to spend a lot of money on a home that they will still need to renovate. What’s more, you may be required to disclose to the buyers any repairs that need to be done on the home you are selling. In such cases, the buyer will either want the repairs addressed, or the prices to be discounted. To ensure that your home for sale does not stay in the market for long, here are must-do repairs to make before selling a your home in Las Vegas:
The Roof
Before selling your home in Las Vegas, conduct a roof inspection and repair any present problems. This includes fixing missing, curled or damaged shingles, structural problems and damaged or blocked gutters. Also, get rid of any present mold as it contributes to moisture buildup on the roof and escalates roof damage. By repairing your roof, you reduce the need for a roof replacement before listing your home for sale. What’s more, potential buyers will be pleased to know that they don’t have to conduct another roof inspection if you have it done.
Foundation & Flooring
Foundation problems jeopardize the integrity of your home and make finding a buyer difficult. Check your drainage and ensure that soil slopes away from the house to avoid pooling. You can identify foundation problems by looking out for slanted or cracked floors or difficulty when closing windows and doors, as well as cracks in your interior walls. You should also keep your flooring looking good by refinishing wooden floors and replacing outdated or worn-out carpeting.
HVAC System
Considering the desert climate, you need to ensure the HVAC System is working optimally before selling a home in Las Vegas. If you notice inconsistent temperatures between rooms, high energy bills, strange odors and noises, and even inadequate airflow from the A/C, it is time to contact an HVAC professional. Your technician will inspect the HVAC system and repair any faulty components to ensure that it is in good condition.
Plumbing Issues
Water leaks and plumbing problems will only negate your selling efforts. Before listing your home for sale, repair any damaged pipes, as well as leaking faucets and toilets in your home. Don’t forget to check the basement for any leaks or water damage. Avoid covering up plumbing problems, as they will ultimately show when your potential buyer conducts a home inspection. By repairing plumbing problems, you protect your home from water damage, mold and dry rot and improve your chances of finding a buyer quickly.
Cosmetic Issues
Peeling or old paint, untended landscape, damaged or stained tiles and grout are all unappealing and may turn away potential buyers. Keep your home visually appealing by applying fresh paint, taking care of your landscaping and replacing broken or damaged tiles and grout. When choosing paint, avoid bright, unconventional colors and stick to neutrals that flatter your home and make it look spacious and appealing to buyers.
