The Pros and Cons of a House Renovation When Selling<\/h2>\n

Selling your home gets you noticing everything that needs to be touched up, replaced or repaired.<\/p>\n

You might be tempted to do a complete house renovation before putting your house on the market, but doing a full renovation is costly, and there\u2019s a good chance you won\u2019t recoup that cost.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, you do stand to make more money selling your home if you focus on updating or repairing certain areas and issues in your home first.<\/p>\n

What Is the Best Plan for Your House Renovation?<\/h3>\n

Most experienced realtors will advise you to start with this step:<\/p>\n

Tackle the Kitchen and Bathroom First<\/h4>\n

If done thoughtfully, improvements made to the kitchen and bathroom are most likely to create actual equity.<\/p>\n

Countertops and Cabinets<\/h4>\n

These are the logical first place to focus since they the largest and most visible components of your bathroom and kitchen.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got old laminate countertops, replace them with something more modern. Ceramic tile countertops might still be in good shape, but most buyers don\u2019t want them.<\/p>\n

Cabinets that are in bad shape need to be replaced. If they are still in good shape, you may be able to get away with re-facing or repainting them.<\/p>\n

\"Kitchen<\/a><\/p>\n

Fixtures and Hardware<\/h4>\n

Next, move to the fixtures and hardware in the kitchen and bathroom. Sometimes simply replacing outdated fixtures and hardware can make a big difference.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind though that choosing high-end fixtures and hardware can add up quickly.<\/p>\n

Sinks<\/h4>\n

If they\u2019re old, outdated and looking worse for the wear, remove and replace those sinks. Fortunately, kitchen and bathroom sinks are relatively easy to remove and replace yourself.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve tackled the bathroom and kitchen, it\u2019s time to survey the rest of your home. As you do so, follow these suggestions:<\/p>\n

If You Can, Do It Yourself<\/h4>\n

Consider this. Laying new solid hardwood at $20 per square foot is a huge expense, but borrowing an orbital floor sander and sanding the floors yourself is not.<\/p>\n

So then why hand over 1,000 square feet of Brazilian cherry to the new owner when you can merely refurbish your existing floors?<\/p>\n

And remember the magic of paint in your home renovation. It can work wonders to transform your home. Especially when you choose contemporary colors.<\/p>\n

Think Appearance First<\/h4>\n

Obviously, things such as appliances, as well as electrical and plumbing fixtures must be in compliance with building codes and in working order.<\/p>\n

But beyond that, your best bet is to spend most of your money on cosmetic fixes rather than functional ones.<\/p>\n

For example, if you\u2019re trying to decide whether $800 would be better spent on painting the walls or getting a new water heater, go for the former, because potential buyers are not going to be impressed with a new water heater. And if the home inspector says a new one will be needed soon, you can always deduct it from the sale price.<\/p>\n

How something looks, on the other hand, is not negotiable. Aesthetics need to be at the top of your list.<\/p>\n

What Does \u201cMove-In\u201d Condition Mean to You?<\/h4>\n

That\u2019s the ultimate question.<\/p>\n

Just make it your objective to get your home to move-in condition – a home that potential buyers can start enjoying right away rather than having to spend time and money fixing it up.<\/p>\n
