Owning the wrong home can be expensive. You may not realize just how much your unwanted Prairie Village property is costing you. Maybe you think that you won’t find a buyer, you may think you will do something with it someday, or maybe you just don’t want to deal with the hassles of your property any longer. Holding onto the wrong house, for whatever reason, can be costing you thousands of dollars per year. The good news is that with a direct sale to kcmoHomeBuyer, you can be rid of your unwanted house in Prairie Village quickly and while receiving a great price. Here are some ways we will save you money…
Continued Utility Bills
Month after month, the utility bills add up. Water, gas, electric, sewer, trash, internet, and other utility costs can add up fast. If you have been waiting to sell or if you plan on listing your house with a Prairie Village real estate agent, you could end up spending thousands on your continued utility bills. When you sell your house quickly to kcmoHomeBuyer, you’ll be able to end these costs right away, keeping more cash in your pocket.
Just take a look at your bills for Gas, Water, and Electric, these add up. Just remember if the house is vacant, don’t just turn these off. Make sure that if you do decide to turn them off that the home is winterized properly in the colder months or it could cost you big in water and freeze damage. We had one seller that was sitting on a vacant house for over 2 years. He finally got fed up with the utility bills,, so he shut off the gas without shutting off the water and winterizing. Frozen pipes totally destroyed the home. Good thing it’s not freezing right now.
Continued Maintenance and Repairs
Maintenance and repairs are another cost that can add up faster than you think. Filters for the AC, weed abatement for the yard, time spent mowing the lawn, and fixes such as a leaky faucet can all add up. You may be spending more money than you think to maintain and repair your home. When you sell your house to kcmoHomeBuyer, you’ll be able to stop spending your time and money on these expenses right away.
Don’t spend another hour mowing the yard or night worrying that the next big storm is going to create new leaks. One of the very first houses we purchased, had sat vacant for many years. And while it was vacant a big storm came through and the old, dead tree dropped a HUGE branch right through the roof. So then not only did it need a lot of storm debris cleaned up, but there was a giant hole in the roof and it was open to the elements.
Continued Mortgage Payments
Do you have a mortgage on your house in Prairie Village? Paying that mortgage month after month on a house you don’t really want, is costing you thousands. Think about it… you know you could be using this money elsewhere. You could take that cash and put it toward a new house, a new adventure, a new business, or an old debt that needs to be paid. Owning the wrong home and wasting your money on the mortgage isn’t going to make you very happy. With a direct sale to kcmoHomeBuyer, you’ll be able to sell your home fast in Prairie Village, using the money on something better suited for you.
We had another seller that was writing a check each and every month on a house that he did not live in. For over a year and a half, he spent $550 on his mortgage. Add that up and that was over $6,600 he spent that he could have used for something else.
Continued Tax Obligation and Insurance Costs
As a homeowner, you are responsible for the property taxes up until the day of closing. Depending on your property and where you live, this could be a rather large financial obligation. You’ll also be dealing with the insurance premiums up until the day of closing. Taxes and insurance can cost a fortune. Selling your house directly will end these obligations in a matter of days instead of months down the road.
And keep in mind that if the home is vacant, you do need to have a more expensive policy that is designed for vacant homes. The same seller with the frozen pipes, well he didn’t have the correct insurance. So when his pipes did freeze, he had the wrong insurance and the company would not pay his claim.
Missed Opportunity Costs
This one probably stings the most because with a missed opportunity you will always wonder what could have been. Holding onto your property for longer than you should, can cause you to miss out on investments that may be better suited to you. Your ideal property may come along, but if you are stuck with your current one, you may not be able to buy it. Don’t miss out on a great opportunity because you have hesitated to sell your house in Prairie Village. Sell your house to kcmoHomeBuyer, close quickly, and find the investment property that will be right for you!
Your Time
Owning the wrong property costs you more than just money, it also costs you your time, which in all honesty, is much more valuable. If you have a property that needs repairs, are the owner of an ill-performing rental, or if you own a large home that requires a lot of attention, you may be spending much more time on the property than you would like.
