Even if you plan on it being your forever home, we all know that life can throw a surprising curveball and you may have to move.

THE FOUNDATION AND YOUR HOME’S VALUE
OVERALL RESALE VALUE
While the hit on your home’s value depends on the severity of the foundation damage, the size of your home, the location, and more, there is no question that the overall resale value will be lower. On average, it’s estimated that the most common foundation issues reduce the value of a property by up to 15 percent when the owners are looking to sell. This can amount to a large sum of money lost, which could have helped you comfortably move to your new location.
REPAIR COSTS
We’ve said it before and we will continue to reiterate this piece of advice, never ignore foundation damage! We understand that it can be frustrating knowing that you’re going to have to spend the money on foundation repair, but the cost to fix minor damage is nothing compared to what your bill will be if you don’t get the issue remedied. Foundation issues only get worse with time, so they’re to be handled as soon as possible. This is especially true if you’re about to sell your home. Homebuyers aren’t too keen on buying a home with foundation damage, and will more than likely move on to the next listing if there are problems. While repairing minor foundation cracks can cost $500, major foundation repair can break the bank.
CURB APPEAL
Curb appeal is extremely important when it comes to selling your home, since we all know that first impressions matter. But it is unlikely that potential buyers will look past uneven floors, wall or ceiling cracks, foundation fractures, and the like. Even having foundation repair done in the past can affect people’s opinion of the home, so it’s important to always be aware of your foundation’s condition.
