As a Grand Rapids real estate agent, I sometimes work with people who have a knack for seeing the potential in a home. They may be investors or just home buyers with a little savvy and vision, or students of reality shows like “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and “Hidden Potential.” Whatever the case, some people have an uncanny ability to imagine what it will take to make a home fit their needs.
If you’ve been looking for a home for a while, or if the real estate environment is competitive for the area you have in mind, you may want to start thinking out of the box. Whenever you decide to broaden your horizons, it can help to keep in mind that homes with “potential” are often overlooked for a few major reasons:
What homes may be worth a second look? Homes with “potential” almost always have a good location – a location that is desirable for you, and as well as being generally marketable (which a knowledgeable Grand Rapids real estate agent should be able to help you with). Homes with potential should also have a generally appealing floor plan , or at least a floor plan that can be rearranged, added on to, or remodeled at a low cost.
If you’re lucky when you look for a new home, you’ll find a home that is move-in ready and matches all your criteria. However, if you can imagine the possibilities for a “diamond in the rough,” you may also find yourself quite satisfied in the end. Contact The Sprich Group today if you’re ready to find your home with “potential.”
