Selling a home fully furnished

There are over 3000 homes listed in the MLS for sale described as being furnished. Is selling a furnished home a good idea?

A furnished home often includes, furniture, linens, dishes and decorations. Selling a furnished home can provide an advantage when selling a vacation or home zoned for short term rental.

On the other hand selling a furnished home to a move up buyer or first time home buyer may cause problems as these types of buyers either have their own furniture already or look forward to purchasing the furnishings they need to make the home theirs.

Each situation will be different. Email or call me to discuss the best way to sell your home.

Jessica Lautz a Senior Research Analyst noted in a commentary for NAR that in 2007 12% of home sellers did so without an agent. This is down from 18% in 1997.

Given the ongoing market conditions it would seem reasonable that more owners will use a Realtor to help them sell their home in the coming months.
