Before listing, prioritize unresolved maintenance and clear presentation over improvements chosen only to chase a higher price. I'd rather help you decide what deserves attention than encourage a project without a clear purpose.
The latest market report covers Macomb single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and apartments. The number of homes listed for sale in the latest market report was 259. The typical time on market for homes that sold was 13 days. These measurements describe listing availability and marketing time, not the effect of repairs, photographs, or home preparation.
A marketing-time figure cannot tell you which improvement will pay for itself or how quickly your home will sell. My preparation advice starts with making the home's condition understandable and its spaces easy to assess. An expensive project deserves more scrutiny than routine cleanup because its cost is certain while the sale outcome is not.
Make a written list of unfinished repairs and separate maintenance needs from cosmetic changes before approving any work. Gather repair records and relevant receipts so questions about the home's condition can be answered with useful detail. Walk through the home with me to choose preparation priorities before scheduling photographs and setting a listing date.
