There are currently a few beautiful, turnkey Lafayette homes on the market that will undoubtedly receive multiple offers. Are you planning to be among the bidders?
What’s hard about multiple offer situations is that one family gets the keys to their dream Lafayette home and everyone else leaves disappointed and frustrated.
Even if you’re willing to be patient and keep trying, the big problem right now is that the inventory of A+ homes available for sale in Lafayette pales against growing demand for them.
If you’re tired of coming up short, it might be time to consider an effective alternative: Create your own A+ home by transforming one that’s slightly underachieving.
To find B properties that can be converted to the A+ Lafayette home of your dreams, start by creating a list of available properties that meet your non-negotiable list of must-haves such as location, budget, lot size and/or living space.
From there, take homes that require expensive and time-consuming work such as an outdated kitchen or structural problems off the list. Instead, focus on homes with relatively easy things to correct, such as:
- Interior paint, wallpaper, wall texture, crown molding, flooring issues, or an outdated bathroom
- Exterior paint, siding, driveway in disrepair, or landscaping issues
Many of these changes can be completed quickly before you even move in. Best of all, when you finish making the changes, your house will be an A+ property and will be customized to your design aesthetics!
