I still do the odd thing to the house every once in a while, but overall it looks neat and ready to sell.<br />I had alot to do (you can see in my blog).<br />But well worth it, I believe I have valued the house by at least $30K by the renovations I did.<br />Why not just "test" the market anyway and see if any bites happen?<br />Worst case you tell the potential buyer that you intend to finish this and that before occupy.<br />Just an idea?Karyn-Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441864113888457036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-44024524817416308782010-06-28T07:24:57.759-04:002010-06-28T07:24:57.759-04:00I had a friend once that was selling his car, he w...I had a friend once that was selling his car, he wanted to get the best price for it so he spent every night after work until bedtime working on the car to make it as perfect as he could. After a month he had the car ready to sell, the only problem was it was the best the car had ever been and he couldn't bring himself to sell it.jim palmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-4934062728511061282010-06-28T01:29:18.934-04:002010-06-28T01:29:18.934-04:00Thanks Margie...that is something to think about. ...Thanks Margie...that is something to think about. I'm afraid if we wait to list it until we have everything finished, we'll never get to that point!

However, we put it up for sale anyway and assumed we would get everything "show ready" in time, but that didn't happen. It sold while it was totally cluttered from downsizing and garage sales going on in the garage, our son had about ruined our beautiful carpet in one room, and several things we intended to fix weren't done - and the buyer never asked for them to be fixed. I think if you are financially and mentally ready to become full-timers, then list it and see what happens. Not everyone is going to expect everything to be perfect. We didn't repaint anything - the new owner changed all our colors I heard. Just my two-cents worth.<br /><br />Sounds like you have a special property and I suspect that someone who wants that type property will buy it whether everything is perfect or not.Margie and Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778628815035344373noreply@blogger.com
