Here are a few items you should order in advance when improving your home.
We’ve all been hearing about supply chain issues throughout our economy. How do these problems impact your home purchase or sale? Today I want to answer that question and share the top four hard-to-get items you might need when you buy or sell:
1. Kitchen and laundry appliances. If you think you’ll need these appliances in your new property, I suggest you buy them now. You can still find the expensive ones, but they’re hard to find if you’re looking for a deal.
2. Lumber. It is not as expensive as it has been in the past few years, but it still costs a lot and is hard to find. If you’re planning to build a deck or start another project that requires lumber, put in an order right away.
“Start ordering these items 90 days ahead of time.”
3. Flooring. Whether you want carpet or hardwood flooring, it’s hard to come
by. Solid wood floors are particularly tough to find because of the lumber shortage.
If you’re thinking about remodeling before you sell, you should start buying the
flooring now, even though you might not need it for a few months.
4. Adhesives and glues. If you’re changing out insulation or anything else that
requires an adhesive, be aware that adhesives are hard to find.
5. Drywall. Maybe you want to fill in, change, or finish a room in your house. You
can still get drywall, but it will take a bit of time.
If you’re thinking about remodeling or buying a home, you should start ordering
these items 90 days in advance so that you have them when you need them.
