Just over 1 year ago, new homes accounted for over 30% of total sales. This year that number is still fairly close with the remaining 70% of sales being pre-built or used. To compete with the 30%, the remaining 70% might feel the need to renovate before listing. However, studies have also shown that not to necessarily be needed for today's buyers who often want to select finishes themselves. Those costly upgrades may not be necessary and professional input is critical to yield the best return on investment.
