Smart Strategies to Save Money When Selling Your Home
Work with an Affordable Realtor: Working with a knowledgeable and affordable realtor can save you money while ensuring you get the best value for your home. At Del Val Realty, we pride ourselves on offering competitive commission rates without compromising on service. We’ll handle all aspects of the selling process, from marketing to negotiations, making the process stress-free so you don’t have to worry about any of the details yourself.
Sell As-Is: If your home doesn’t require significant repairs or upgrades, selling it "as-is" can save you the costs of home improvements. However, it’s important to weigh how this may affect the sale price and your potential return.
Hire an Interior Designer: Investing in a professional interior designer can significantly enhance your home’s interior and curb appeal. A well-styled home allows potential buyers to envision themselves living there, which can lead to a quicker sale and potentially higher offers. A small investment in design can make a big difference in how buyers perceive your property.
Tax Benefits: If you’ve lived in your home for at least two of the last five years, you may qualify for a capital gains tax exemption (up to $250,000 for single filers or $500,000 for married couples), which could save you money when selling your home.
By focusing on the right strategies, you can save money while ensuring a smooth, profitable sale with Del Val Realty.
