Many older homes in Honolulu are cute. However, there’s a difference between old and cute and functionally obsolete.  Some buyers are looking for a home that they can upgrade to meet their needs; to put their signature on, so to speak.  A much greater percentage of buyers are looking for a home that’s turnkey; something they can move into immediately.

For those thinking of selling their home in the near future, it’s worth taking a little time to assess the strengths and weaknesses of your home.  If it has some of the features listed below, you should be aware it may take longer to sell your home.

• popcorn or stucco ceilings and ceilings with dark wood beams
• no air conditioning
• just two bedrooms
• just one full bathroom
• split level floor plan
• single wall construction
• condos with an abnormally high maintenance fee
