You may already know the things that can boost the value of your home like staging it,

Here are some of the common mistakes sellers do or don’t do that affect the value of
their homes for sale in Sandpiper Lakeland Fl:
1. Selling in an area with several foreclosures. If your Sandpiper Lakeland Fl home
for sale is in an area where there are several foreclosures, then your home will most
likely sell for a lower value. Often, these kinds of neighborhoods with plenty of
foreclosures aren’t well-maintained. The foreclosed homes in this area are neglected and
in dire need of maintenance. Perhaps, the reason why you are selling your Sandpiper
Lakeland Fl home is because of the high foreclosure rate! Based on a study by the MIT
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology), homes within 250 feet of a foreclosed property
decreased in value by 1% for every foreclosure.

Sandpiper Lakeland Fl home for sale’s value by as
much.

3. Bad paint job. Bad paint jobs both inside and
outside the home can decrease the value of your

the home before selling it. Chipped paint and other
ugly marks on the wall will give an impression to
buyers that your home is badly in need of repairs or
is not well-maintained.
