You should always consult your Realtor before making improvements in anticipation of
selling your home. Many times the things that a homeowner has in mind will not
necessarily be "recoverable costs" when the home is sold. Often the
low-cost updates can significantly affect the attractiveness and final sales price of a
home. Moreover, you home is unique, and your Realtor will be able to focus on those items
that will "give the most bang for the buck." With that in mind, 10
time-tested items are presented below for you to consider when improving you home.
- Redecorate - The Light and bright look
sells in the 1990s. Think neutrality, simplicity and openness. Fresh Paint, new floor
coverings and updated drapes can perform miracles.
- Kitchen Improvements / Minor - Refinish
cabinets, replace sink and faucets, painting & replacing countertops will often pay
dividends.
- Bathroom Improvements / Minor - Refinishing
cabinets, paint, updated faucet and fixtures.
- Kitchen Improvements / Major - New
Cabinets, Update layout, new appliances
- Bathroom Improvements / Major - Replace
fixtures, add whirlpool tub, skylights, shower stall
- Add A Bathroom - Especially in homes where
no powder room exists on first level. Or, in floorplans that have parents and children
sharing a bathroom.
- Add a Family Room - in a family dominated
market, the lack of a 1st floor family room can be a major functional detraction.
- Add a Master Suite - a bedroom / bathroom
combination slightly oversized with upgrades compared to other rooms.
- Add a bedroom - This is often recommended
in family markets when the house has three or fewer bedrooms.
- Exterior Facelifts - Repair obvious
deficiencies. Fresh paint and generous landscaping.
