Selling Your House: The $100,000 Pet Dilemma
Is Your Pet Worth $100,000?
If you're selling your home, your pet might cost you more than you think if you don't accommodate it properly.
The $100,000 Pet Impact
Here's a story: A home in a desirable neighborhood built around two lakes sold for $100,000 less than the average. What caused such a steep drop in price? Pets. Specifically, two pets.
You might wonder, "How can pets affect a home's value so drastically?" Let me explain.
During a showing with a potential buyer, we arrived at a house without prior warning about pets inside. As I unlocked the door, loud barking erupted from within. The buyer, understandably hesitant, decided not to enter, and we moved on to look at other properties.
The next day, we rescheduled to view the house, assured it would be pet-free. However, when we entered, the strong odor of pets was overwhelming. The basement furniture was shredded beyond belief. While the front yard was appealing, the backyard was a mess with scratched doors, worn paths, and damaged landscaping. The buyer quickly lost interest.
I later discovered the home had a German Shepherd and a wolf-shepherd mix. The house languished on the market, undergoing multiple price cuts, eventually selling for $100,000 below neighborhood norms. Clearly, the pets played a major role.
Cherishing Pets, Protecting Home Value
Don't get me wrong?"I love pets. Over the years, my husband and I have had a German Shepherd, Siamese cats, and a variety of other animals. Pets truly enrich our lives.
However, if you're selling your home, it’s crucial to manage the potential impact of your pets. Proper steps can ensure they don’t detract from your property's value.
In conclusion, while pets bring joy, they shouldn’t diminish your home equity. Handle their presence wisely, and you can preserve your home’s value.
