Louisville Real Estate – Top Home Buyer Red Flags to Be On the Lookout For

By Family Realty, LLC

You just made the decision to sell your Louisville Real Estate and move up to another Louisville Home for Sale but, before you list your home have you taken the time to make sure that there are not any problems with your home which may cause red flags with home buyers?

In today’s post we will cover some of the most common home buyer red flags so you will know what to fix in your home before you list your Louisville Home for Sale.

Red Flag #1 – Bad Curb Appeal

The truth in Real Estate is that in spite of granite counter tops and media rooms good curb appeal still does matter.

If your home has dead flowers or vegetation in your landscape, an overgrown yard, fence that needs painting or a mailbox which has seen better days these are all things that should be replaced and improved on immediately because, bad curb appeal will turn buyers away.

Red Flag #2 – Your Home Smells

Although some homes smell because they have been lived in for years, the reality is that smells can paint “mental pictures” in the buyers mind and cause them to wonder what else may be wrong with your home.

To eliminate smells in your Louisville Home for Sale consider cleaning the carpets, painting walls, buying plugin air fresheners for every room and placing dryer sheets in your vents to eliminate smells.

Red Flag #3 – Signs of Water Damage

Last of all, if your Louisville Real Estate shows signs of water damage you should fix those problem areas immediately because even if you fixed the leaks years ago a stained ceiling or wall could lead buyers to still think that your home has water leaks somewhere.
