Tell All is definitely the rule for anyone who is selling Oro Valley real estate in today’s market. Let the Buyer Beware can easily come back and bite you in a delicate spot—your pocketbook.
Today, those selling a home or any Oro Valley are expected to disclose all known material defects that are not readily apparent to the buyer. A Material Defect is usually a physical condition that would affect a buyer’s decision to purchase the home or what price to pay for the home. A leaky roof is definitely a Material Defect. If a Oro Valley seller tries to disguise the leak by painting the interior ceiling and walls without fixing the leak, the truth will come out the next time it rains. Chances are the first call the buyer makes will be to his attorney.
Choosing Your Oro Valley Neighborhood
You’ve probably heard about the three major determinants of Oro Valley values are: 1) location, 2) location and 3) location. This is not only true about real estate in Oro Valley; it is true about real estate in general. If you cannot afford what you want where you want it, give up something inside the house rather than settling on a lesser location.
Does Your Oro Valley Have Curb Appeal?
Every prospective buyer who visits your Oro Valley home is struck by a variety of impressions regardless of whether your landscaping is eye-catching or merely so-so. Plants that overrun the walkway, trees that badly need pruning and visible suggest to the prospective buyer that this home will take a lot of landscaping maintenance and yet if your yard is well-maintained, the prospective buyer is inclined to simply admire the fact and move on. If your Oro Valley front porch or front door need paint, the prospective buyer is likely to notice the paint job inside and out and think about how much maintenance that will take on a yearly basis. The important message here is that things that look bad or run down call attention to all the work that needs to be done while things that are well maintained conjure up ideas of how pleasant it would be to live there.
