Is it worth it?
We have all seen the home improvement shows where the properties are completely overhauled but when it comes to your re-model or home improvement, which modifications are worth it?
With certain improvements you will get a big return on the resale market and others will just help the property sell faster.
The best return for your money:
- new paint (look at neutrals or softer hues if you are looking at selling) and don't forget the exterior
- new flooring (ceramic in wet areas and hardwood in other living spaces)
- repairs such as leaky faucets, cracked tiles etc...
- upgrading bathrooms and kitchens
- new appliances
Money spent for a quick sale:
- granite counter tops
- an upgraded backsplash
- finished basement
- closet organizers
When it is time for a home improvement - think about why you are doing it, your enjoyment or purely for resale. This can help you decide where to focus and how much to spend...
