Things That Instantly Kill the Property Value of Your Home

Visible pest damage can make buyers wonder how deep the problem goes. Termite tubes, carpenter bee holes, rodent droppings, chewed wood, or damaged trim may suggest hidden issues in walls, framing, insulation, or crawl spaces.

Get the problem inspected and treated before listing. Repair damaged wood, seal entry points, remove food or moisture sources, and keep treatment records. Buyers should look for both active pests and old damage, because either one can affect repair costs and confidence.
