When it comes to buying or selling a home, one of the most important things to consider is what to include in the sale. Understanding what is included in the sale can help ensure that both the buyer and the seller are on the same page and that there are no surprises down the road.
Typically, the items that accompany a home sale will be listed in the sales contract. This can include everything from appliances and light fixtures to window coverings and built-in storage. The seller typically decides what items accompany the home sale, and it’s important for the buyer to review this list carefully before making an offer.
Appliances
One of the most common items included in a home sale is appliances. This can include things like the refrigerator, oven, stove, dishwasher, and washer and dryer. Including these appliances in the sale can save the buyer a significant amount of money and the hassle of having to purchase them separately.
Light Fixtures
Light fixtures are another item that comes with the home. These can include ceiling lights, table lamps, and wall sconces. Having these light fixtures included in the sale can be a big bonus for the buyer as it can save them the time and expense of having to purchase and install them themselves.
Window Coverings
Other common items that often come with the home are window coverings, such as blinds and curtains, as well as built-in storage such as closets, shelves, and cabinetry. These items can be especially valuable to buyers, as they add both functionality and aesthetic appeal to a home.
Other Inclusions
In addition to these items, there are a few other things that come with a home sale, such as garage door openers, security systems, and even outdoor furniture.
In summary, when it comes to buying or selling a home, it’s important to understand what’s included in the sale. The most common items included in a home sale are appliances, light fixtures, window coverings, and built-in storage.
