WI FSBO Home Improvements Before Selling...
WI fsbo homes in less than acceptable condition should absolutely be brought up to standard by way of simply making improvements to the cause of the properties poor condition. Improvements though are just as they are stated... "improvements", not to be confused with spending money to add additions to the home which are not really needed.For example holes in drywall are something that NEED to be fixed, as this would be something that could potentially prevent you from selling the WI fsbo home. Adding a deck on your home however, is not a necessary improvement. Sure the deck may look nice, but chances are based on recent cost vs. improvement surveys, you are not going to make money in the final sale of the home from such "non necessary improvements", in fact you will probably end up eating some of the money you put into the "unnecessary improvement", or break even at best.
The Bottom Line Is
If your WI fsbo home is in good condition, you do not need to fix what’s not broken. There are numerous zero to low cost ways you can add value to the home, without forking up a substantial amount of cash. If your WI fsbo home is in poor condition, then do make the necessary improvements, these improvements may seem costly at first, but it will be far more costly in the long run to have your house sit on the market do to lack of interest from buyers not looking to take on a "fixer upper".
