Many homeowners remodel not just to improve the condition of their biggest asset, but also to improve the salability of said asset. Experience proves that some projects are better for improving your bottom line than others.
DO upgrade kitchens and bathrooms, as these rooms are most likely to get scrutinized by potential buyers.
New countertops and appliances and sparkling fixtures will be a memorable aspect of your showings.
DO improve exterior features, too – first impressions count! Some of the most valuable work you can do is to add new siding, or to pressure clean or replace old dingy siding. Another outdoor biggie, decks. Most everyone love relaxing outside, so adding or improving this amenity not only adds style to your lifestyle right now, but also increases your home’s real and perceived value.
DO realize that the biggest return on your remodeling investment will come from more costly repairs, such as replacing windows or installing new air and heating units. If your home is in need of such improvements, it makes sense to do it now, before it costs more later.
Finally, DON’T turn your home into the neighborhood’s priciest palace. You’ll end up turning off potential buyers who will see other homes around the block offering more affordability. It’s a delicate balance, but your home should offer the greatest value when compared with similar offerings.
