If a buyer is looking for a single family home to purchase in Avalon or Stone Harbor, their options include:

1) Newer construction (typically defined as less than 10 years old)

2) A tear down

3) The “in between” house (built in the 90s through to the early 2000s)

Of the 3 choices, the “in between” home can be the most challenging.

The amenities may be out of date, and buyers could be facing major functional repairs.  Therefore, the selling price over and above base land value depends on a buyer’s perception of use/value.

If you own an “in between” home, updates and consistent maintenance are key to retaining value of the structure. Watch a few episodes of an HGTV program, and then walk around the house objectively with the eye of a buyer.

I am happy to share my suggestions, too.     609-967-7950  or ann.delaney@timkerrsir.com
