Yes, sellers, you can gain control of your sales transaction and come out ahead even in this market.
As the housing market continues its rebound in Osceola County, it continues to a buyers’ market. While we talk mostly of the benefits to a potential home buyer of retaining home inspection services, there are real advantages to the seller who arranges for inspection prior to listing with a real estate agent.
The economics law of supply and demand is working its magic: there are still a lot more homes on the market than there are buyers. This gives purchasers greater negotiating power than sellers – and perspective buyers are happy to low-ball a bid with the hope you’ll grab it and they’ll get the bargain of the decade.
you have knowledge on your side. That information puts you ahead of the curve and in control of your transaction. The inspection will give you an accurate assessment of the condition of your property and provide additional disclosures.
This intelligence is beneficial for a few of reasons.
First, you have the upfront choice about which items you want to repair or replace, and those that you plan not to but can share with prospects in your seller’s disclosures.
Next, you can repair/replace items at your leisure before (and or while) the house is on the market. It’s more convenient for you and a whole lot less expensive than when needed repairs are uncovered during the buyer’s inspection.
Finally, having this knowledge and taking the action as you choose will help prevent against contracts that potentially fall out after the buyer’s inspection. It gives you the power to control your transaction. And that saves you stress, time and money too.
