Home Improvements Before
You List?
Think home improvements will substantially increase
the selling price of your home? You may want to think
again. Before you invest a lot of money into home improvements
and upgrades, you should consult with Barbara
Wilson, Medina County's #1 Real Estate Agent,
to determine which changes will most impact your home's
sale. Some renovations not only fail to improve resale
profits, but could actually detract from your home¹s
overall value. Swimming pools, water gardens and greenhouse
additions fall into this unfortunate category.
However, certain upgrades can return a 100% profit
and make your home very desirable. Kitchen updates
can offer a substantial payback. Keep it simple, functional
and neutral.
A lush lawn and a splash of floral color can
draw potential buyers like hummingbirds to sugar water.
A few hundred dollars invested in this area can result
in thousands of dollars in profit. Fill your home with
feelings of warmth and tradition by installing
or upgrading a fireplace. This home improvement
is a sure winner especially if it¹s energy
efficient (like many gas models).
