istake #5 – Failing to plan for resale
One of the most significant errors that a first-time builder can make is failing to prepare for the long-distant future resale of the property.
When you’re building, it’s difficult to imagine that you would ever want to leave this place. After all, you planned every square inch of space, worked overtime to fund the extras, and carefully selected every last detail.
But the day will come to sell. Whether that time arrives in two years or thirty-two years, you will list your home.
Having thought out your floorplan well will go far with those seeking a new home--ditto for those upgrades you so lovingly implemented.
But have you thought about maintenance and upkeep? As you go through selecting materials, be sure to choose low-maintenance, high-quality items that will last for many years. The better you maintain your home during the time you spend there, the more money you will receive from the sale.
Takeaway
Building a new home is challenging and frustrating—kind of like the game of golf. But, also like that sport, the more you put into that challenge, the better feeling the reward is at the end of the round.
