When selling your house, some repairs may be necessary in order to pass the home appraisal and/or home inspection. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know that a home inspection is a requirement for many mortgage loans. During an inspection, a home inspector performs a visual inspection, reporting on any health, safety, or mechanical issues that don’t meet your state’s standards or a buyer’s loan requirements. Common issues noted include water damage, roof condition, electrical problems, or structural issues could negatively impact the future health of the house. The National Association of Home Inspectors has a 1,600-item checklist for inspectors. Don’t take it personally, but an appraiser will virtually always find things wrong with a house. It’s up to the seller whether or not to fix them. Check out below to see what sold in Simmons Orchard in October 2022:

The more of those things you do up front, the less it’s going to cost you down the road. If you address them yourself or hire a handyman, it’s going to be far less expensive than when the buyer demands that a contractor do the repairs.
