Understanding the needs and goals of potential buyers will help you attract them to your home. These days, most homeowners are concerned about functionality, aesthetics and energy efficiency. A new roof is crucial to achieving these things and can certainly help your property stand out.
Here’s why you should consider repairing or replacing your roof before home selling.
Dodge Building Inspection Issues
If an inspector deems your roof in poor condition, you shouldn’t put off replacing it. It is possible for someone to back out of an offer if they find that your roof is not in good condition.
Add Personality to Your Property
Asphalt shingles with a slate-like appearance are now possible, thanks to new technologies. It is even possible for some shingles to reflect solar heat, increasing the home’s energy efficiency. A new roof allows you to distinguish your home from others in the neighborhood and add your distinctive flair.
Faster Transaction
When it comes to a property they are considering, it is common for homebuyers to be meticulous. Expect them to find flaws in the house and use them to negotiate a lower price. You can reduce such negotiations and even help buyers make a decision more quickly with a new asphalt shingle roof. There is no reason to delay their decision-making process if your roof and all other parts of your home are in good condition.
Higher Home Value
After you’ve repaired or replaced your roof, you can significantly increase your asking price. Most buyers prefer a home with a new roof that comes with a transferable warranty. Make it a point to mention in your listing that your roof has recently been repaired or replaced. This will undoubtedly pique the interest of potential buyers as the advantages of a new or well-maintained roof are obvious.
