Sell for more or for less—the choice is yours.
🏠 What Happens When You List a Home Without Pre-Sale Renovations
If you're trying to sell your home fast and for top dollar, listing in average condition could cost you thousands.
Let’s look at a real-world example that shows what can happen when sellers skip strategic pre-sale updates.
🔎 Real Case Study: 395 Wealdstone Drive
This home was listed on the market with:
Scuffed, dented interior walls
Outdated and unappealing paint colors
Dark brown, worn carpet
Poor lighting throughout
It entered the market in mediocre condition—and it’s still sitting unsold.
Even worse, the price has already been dropped by $50,000 to try and attract buyers.
This is a perfect example of why homes that aren’t updated before listing often sit longer and sell for less.
💰 How Simple Home Updates Could Have Increased the Sale Price
With just a few targeted upgrades, this home could have had significantly more buyer interest:
A fresh paint job in modern, neutral colors
Replacing the old carpet with light, contemporary flooring
Updating the lighting to make the space feel brighter and more welcoming
These are the exact types of upgrades that today’s buyers expect—and they directly impact your home’s resale value.
