Home Renovation to Improve Saleability and Price

Renovating your home for sale may or may not be a wise move depending on how much you plan to spend. In some cases, a home is in bad shape and the money must be spent to make it salable. On the other hand, spending too much may represent a loss. It’s important to discuss with your real estate agent how much home improvement upgrades needs to be done. A new toilet, sink, and shower stall in your bathroom, a new paint job for the whole first level floor, and new kitchen sink fixtures might create the best overall value for the least investment. Your agent can tell you after an evaluation what aspect of your home are a liability and which problems will actually kill the sale. An experienced agent will know what they need to fix to make the sale. Other issues can be negotiated. You don’t want to overfix the house beforehand. Instead, let your agent negotiate with the buyer what absolutely must be fixed or renovated.

Finding a handyman or home renovation contractor may not be easy. You need to be sure beforehand what needs to be done so you can hire the right renovation contractor. You can conduct a search on the Internet and ask questions about their previous work, their charges, and ask references and visit a couple of the places the contractor has worked on. It’s always buyer beware so only go with a contractor if your gut feeling is that they are credible and have integrity and can actually do the work on time and on budget.

Unfortunately, the Federal government has discontinued the home renovaton tax credit.
