Cosmetic
Improvements >Cosmetic
Flaws
Many
buyers make home buying decisions based primarily upon
emotional reactions to the homes we show them. A
freshly-painted house with clean windows and waxed floors
will sell for top dollar, while a nearby home which needs a
lot of cosmetic attention may languish on the market, even
with a much lower asking price.
If you find yourself
in the position of comparing two such houses, put your
imagination to work. If the only difference is paint,
cleaning, and carpeting (or getting unsightly furniture
moved out), remember that these are fairly low ticket items
that you would probably choose to do even if the house is in
good shape. If you focus your attention on the location and
the condition of the structure and the major systems, you
may be able to get a "not-very-rough" diamond at a great
price. If cosmetic problems make you nervous about the home,
the structural inspection can answer most of your
questions.
