Drawbacks to Moving Out Before Selling a House

    The cost incurred to sell a vacant house is often significant:

Staging:

     A seller may need to stage the house and incur a further expense for home staging. That's because buyers typically cannot envision an area without furniture. An empty room is basically just four walls and a ceiling. there's nothing attractive that.

Crime magnet:

    The home could be vandalized. Vacant homes can attract crime. On top of the damage which will happen when a thug breaks into a vacant house, a seller might find yourself paying out-of-pocket to form repairs because their homeowner's policy won't insure a vacant home. A separate vacant home policy is dear.

Less appeal: 

    Vacant homes lend less emotional appeal. Buyers who fall head-over-heels crazy with home often can pay more for that home. A vacant house can feel very empty and lonely. it's going to take longer to sell and fetch a lower asking price.
