If you have lived in your home for a number of years, chances are there are a few things you would like to change. Whether you are considering putting your home on the market, or just want to update your home, you might want to get some advice before you start renovating. Guests and buyers are always impressed with a spotless kitchen and an updated bathroom. The rest of the home could be old-fashioned, but as long as these two areas are somewhat modern, they usually look past the rest of the home’s outdated décor.
You need to be cautious, however, to make sure you do not “over-improve” your home to the point you cannot recapture the money involved. Another consideration is whether you wish to add amenities to the home for your own pleasure and don’t care if you recoup what you have invested.
Keep in mind that buyers usually won’t pay more for items such as new windows, new roof, added insulation or water heaters – they expect all of these items to be in good order when they buy the home! While a home with updated mechanicals and windows certainly help the marketability of your home, don’t expect a buyer to pay extra for items that should be in good condition from the beginning.
Your real estate professional can guide you in sorting out the pro’s and cons of remodeling your home.
