A Fully Furnished Sale

Q: "I am selling my condo in the East End of Provincetown fully furnished. Is there significant value in doing so?"

A: This is a good question that many sellers are on the fence over. The best way to determine value is by attaching an executed offer to it, no matter what you are selling. If you have no need for the furnishings and your home is for sale, than list it as furnished. You’ll have to spend money having it cleared out if the buyer doesn’t want it. Or you can sell it furnished and let the buyer have it all. There is a perceived value by certain buyers when furnishings convey, but whether or not it is of real value can only be determined on a case by case situation.

In our experience, when furniture does convey, it is in excellent condition, relatively new and part of a tasteful décor.
