Remodel Before You Sell?
 There are some improvements that can help a home sell for more money and should be considered by homeowners especially when updating is appropriate. The rooms that have the largest impact on a buyer's opinion of a home are the front entry, bathrooms and kitchen. An updated kitchen with new appliances, countertops and attractive cabinets will make buyers excited and can make the difference when they are deciding between two homes. But the cost and time necessary to make such a kitchen doesn't make it worthwhile if you are preparing to sell. Instead focus on making only minor, cosmetic repairs and improvements such as: |
|
|
| |
|
|
Painting the interior |
|
|
Painting stained or dated cabinets and woodwork |
|
|
New door hardware |
|
|
New faucets and fixtures in the bathrooms and kitchen |
|
|
New light fixtures, switch plates and electrical outlets and covers |
|
|
New baseboard and door trim |
