Unsure Whether to Sell

People consider selling for many reasons: they bought a new home and no longer need the previous one, or they inherited a family home but already have a place to live.

Even so, deciding to sell is not always easy.

Many people who are unsure ultimately choose to keep the property instead of selling.

What It Means to Keep a Home

If you keep a home, the following uses may be possible.

Because multiple agents are involved, the overall transaction picture can be hard to see, and sellers may not clearly understand how their property is being marketed.
The progress of the transaction can depend heavily on the ability and motivation of the assigned representative.
For some properties, agents may not actively promote the listing for business reasons, and the property may receive very little exposure to buyers. Sellers lose selling opportunities, and buyers lose chances to find good properties.

However, unless the property has a reasonably strong environment, these uses can be difficult, and many properties remain vacant. Vacant properties can then develop various problems.

Problems Caused by Continuing to Hold Property

Tax Burden

Simply owning real estate requires annual payment of fixed asset tax and city planning tax.

In general, the combined amount is about 1.7% of the assessed value of the real estate.

If held for 30 years, the total can amount to roughly half of the assessed value.

Decline in Asset Value Due to Aging

Homes with no occupants are not ventilated or cleaned, so moisture can build up and mold, wood decay, and other deterioration can accelerate.

The value as a home declines, making it harder to find a buyer.

Negative Impact on the Surrounding Area

As the exterior deteriorates and weeds or garden trees grow unchecked, the landscape can suffer and the value of the whole area may decline.

Vacant homes are also more vulnerable to trespassing and use as a base for crime, increasing security risks.

A deteriorated building can also create risks of collapse or fire, negatively affecting the safety of nearby residents.

Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to prevent declining asset value and negative effects on the surrounding area.

Specific tasks include checking exterior walls and roofs, ventilating interiors, checking water and electrical systems, caring for the garden, and taking security measures.

In general, maintenance is said to be needed at least once a month, and areas with snow or high humidity may require more frequent visits.

Lost Opportunity

Vacant homes and vacant land are real estate that may be used not only for housing, but also for commerce or agriculture.

Leaving them unused can mean lost opportunities for local economic development and job creation.

Selling Because It Matters

If you keep a valued property without selling it, taxes and maintenance may eventually become burdens, and the property may negatively affect both you and the surrounding area.

Because it matters, you can look for a buyer who will use it. You can then use the proceeds to enrich your life. We believe this cycle has meaning for the owner, the property, and society.
