Selling in Yarrow Point
92.5% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most sales are people moving on rather than investors trading. Buyers in that market are usually comparing your home against a small number of others, and presentation moves the number more than it does in a high-turnover area.
Half the homes here were built in 1975 or earlier, so buyers and their inspectors arrive expecting questions about the roof, the electrical and the sewer line. Knowing those answers before you list is usually worth more than fixing them mid-negotiation.
Isaac will tell you what your home is actually likely to bring in Yarrow Point and what, if anything, is worth doing first. If the honest answer is that this is not your year to sell, he will say that too.
