Hi Ok, so I live in America, in Florida specifically. My house is a ranch-style build in 1980. Its approximately 1700 square feet on a 1/4 acre lot within a sub division. I want to sell my home and the home has a few issues. So I am asking here to find out what should I do?
I have not had a realtor go over the property. But from what I can say, the property needs a new fence, the master bathroom shower needs to have the tile replaced (some of the tile is slightly bulging out away from the wall - I suspect some water got in there and there may be mold- I stopped using it months ago in hope of drying it out and maybe stopping any further damage- the roof needs some repairs made- the chimney surround's wood on the roof is rotten and crumbles away when you touch it- The trim around the roof is also bad and needs replaced- the garage door is cracked and the automatic opener does not function- the garage ceiling has no dry wall- the previous owners merely screwed thin wood sheets into the 2x4's with no drywall on the other side- the electrical box is out dated and not up to code- I also suspect that the house needs to be re-wired as I cannot run a toaster and the toaster oven at the same time- The kitchen cabinet's doors were for some reason all removed by the previous owner, and for some reason replaced with 1 inch thick, heavy boards - no idea why-
Thats about it- theres a new air conditioner, new washer / dryer, new stove, new refrigerator , new dishwasher all stainless steel kitchen appliances. The house has a parlor and dining room area that is closed off from the rest of the home by french doors-
Oh, the porch, there is a porch that seems as if the previous owners constructed it themselves- it is screened and no glass- the porch roof leaks when it rains-
What are the major issues that I should address before trying to sell this house? Zillow lists the house as being worth 180K but, Zillow doesnt know about the issues I described.
I want to sell the house and walk away with 150K after the realtor fees etc- I can realistically invest 10K for repairs by November- I would like to sell the house by January.
What should I focus on and should I bring in a realtor or home inspector to tell me what is most important to address with my budget?
Is it better to sell the house "as is"?
Keep in mind, I want to walk away pocketing 150K.
What should I do?
