The old saying goes that you can’t judge a book by its cover, but the same doesn’t hold true for buying a home!
Last week, we discussed the importance of remodeling to improve your lifestyle, and not solely to pad your resale value. In other words, don’t justify a massive remodeling project because you believe what you spend will be recouped at resale!
As this expert points out, smaller outdoor improvements go further in attracting homebuyers. Essentially, no one will see your fancy kitchen with all the bells and whistles if your curb appeal isn’t up to par!
The good news is that all of those improvements aren’t expensive. As one expert puts it, “The simpler and lower cost the project, the bigger its cost-value ratio.”
When it comes to remodeling to sell, smaller projects are the way to go. So, look to things like a replacement steel entry door, vinyl window replacements, or stone veneer exterior accents.
If you are unsure about where to start in your remodel journey, it’s important to consult a designer. Designers are more in tune with the trends and styles of your area. While articles and magazines are good place to start, like this one on general kitchen trends, local designers have the experience to let you know what is efficient, realistic and cost-effective for your situation.
