Question:
“I have an old in-ground jacuzzi that’s beyond repair. I’m going to put my home on the market and prefer not to deal with it. What do you advise?”
Answer:
You’re going to have to deal with it one way or another.
If you don’t remove it, your prospective buyer will expect it to work. So you should note in the marketing that it’s inoperative.
However, your buyer will likely guess on the high end the cost of removing it, then subtract that from what they’re willing to pay.
Then, when they have your home inspected, they’ll likely ask for you to pay to remove it.
So you’ll end up paying two to three times the cost.
If you’re OK with that, then leave it. But if I were you, I’d have it removed now. And I have a great handyman who can take care of that for you.
