How a home inspection can affect the sale of your home.
Today’s post is not going to be filled with a bunch of fluff. Why? Because this post is about answering a pivotal question that we get asked on a daily basis. How does a home inspection affect the sale of your home? There is a lot of information around this topic, however, we are going to tell you what we have seen in the 17+ years of working with home owners.
How does a home inspection affect the sale of your home?
When selling your home the ‘traditional way’, aka listing with a real estate agent on MLS, you will usually have to have a home inspection done. This may be done with your realtor before listing, or may be a requirement from the buyer as part of their conditional offer. A home inspection can bring up all sorts of issues that will require fixing before any conditions on an offer will be removed. While fixing these issues will cost money, not fixing them may cost you the sale of your home. If there are issues with your home, it will put off buyers - delaying the sale of your home, and costing you time and hassle. If your home is in great shape, this is usually never an issue and selling on the market can be a great option for you. In a nutshell, a home inspection can and will affect the sale of your home in one way or another.
You have options when selling your home.
However if your home is in need of renovations, repairs or upgrades - selling to a private homebuyer or a cash home buyer is a great solution. Along with the many other benefits of selling to a cash home buyer, they will buy your home with no home inspection or conditions. They are looking to buy homes that are in need of work, and they are prepared for whatever issues, renovations or repairs there may be. Selling privately to a cash home buyer will guarantee closing, as quick as you need, with no additional money out of pocket!
