The right house in the right location is the combination that sells. But what happens when the right house is in a location that isn’t perfect? As the sell, you might be able to overcome some location problems with pre-sell fixes. To the right buyer, a perk here and there could make your property very attractive. The main thing to remember is that you can’t change some location problems. You can’t do anything about the school system, the distance from the closest grocery store, or the city’s street signage. Still, some location problems can be minimized.

If recent changes to traffic flow have created street noise around the property, you might be able to create landscaping that minimizes the noise and distracts the eye. The house itself can overcome location problems if it is the best in its price range. The seller should take extra steps to make sure the house is perfect, with new flooring or carpeting, fresh paint, sparkling windows, and gleaming fixtures. Perfection paired with price is an aggressive and successful combination. A great deal on a great house can make a buyer overlook a lot of location problems.

With the right combination of perks and price, the seller puts himself in the position to find the right buyer, someone who isn’t sensitive to street noise or doesn’t mind a drive to the grocery store.
