Here I am working on a new listing! The problem is the owner has done minimal updates to their home in the past 30 years. The home is in fantastic shape mechanically and structurally (the owner maintained that portion well). However, they only updates is a new kitchen and den area approximately a year (it looks fabulous too). They updated the bathrooms about 10-20 years ago and they need updating again.
The problem is they are being relocated to another city and they need to sell their home fast!
Do they have time....no.
Do they really want to put in the money to update comparable to the newer homes....not really
My advice....keep the interior of the home maintained also with the newer styles, appliances, housing trends etc. Not just the maintenance but appearances too.
You never know what life has in store for you.
