Trying to Sell Property in Las Vegas. What will be the best offer Money Back or Improvements?
Is a 1.5 Acres Horse Property, Sub-Dividable with a 3600 sqt ft Custom Home. Appraised for $1,250,000 on July 15. In the market for $1,139,000. I was thinking to offer a new Pool, or additional 3 car Garage or money back.

Don’t add something that’s never been there. You don’t get that back out of the market. You can pay $40k for a pool and only get about $10-20 out of the market for it.
Update the house, fix any problems, new exterior siding, fresh paint, new flooring, new cabinets/countertops, new tub/showers, little stuff on the inside/outside is worth more when trying to sell than extras.
If it’s sub-dividable, then the next buyer(s) may not want a pool or larger garage because they are going to build their own homes around it and it might cause problem with development.

Forget adding anything.
You won’t get you money back.
I would figure out my bottom line, and list it at that.
Lower the price, don’t offer money back.
Why?
People will respond better to a lower price.
At 1,139,000. I would reduce it to 999,000.
Why?
People think in terms of round numbers 750-1,000,000, 1,000,000-1,125,000 Etc
Hope this helps.
