Improving Your Home’s Value
To
increase equity in a property, most buyers will gravitate to the least
expensive home in the best neighborhood they can
afford with considerations for extra amenities and school systems.
When considering selling
and helping your property to edge out the competition, you want a home that
fits in the neighborhood but is not over-improved. For example, if the majority
of the homes in your neighborhood have three bedrooms, two baths and 2,500 sq.
ft. of finished space, a property consisting of five bedrooms with three baths
and much more space, would likely be priced much higher, take longer and be
more difficult to sell.
Upgrades and improvements
to achieve that “Wow” factor and knowing the property will show well requires consistency
with the surrounding neighborhood and involves a minimal capital investment which
a Seller will want to recover when the property sells. Furthermore,
improvements should reflect community preferences.
Cosmetic improvements -
paint, wallpaper and landscaping - help a home "show" better and
often are good investments. Mechanical repairs - to ensure that all systems and
appliances are in good working condition - are required to get a top price.
