Renovator's Disease


The first symptoms of "renovator's disease" usually begin with, "Hmmm ... Just a few changes could really improve this house."

If you've caught "the bug," here's some healthy advice: find out which improvements will add the most value to your home. Whether you're planning to sell soon or sometime in the future, you'll want to get the best return on your remodeling investment. Value for value, these are the best:

  • Brighten your home with new paint, carpeting and flooring. Select light, neutral colors.
  • Improve your home's "curb appeal" with a fresh coat of paint.
  • Update your kitchen with new cabinets, countertops, flooring and appliances.
  • Add another bath, if needed for convenience and resale value.
  • Update existing bathrooms. Make them light, bright and easy to clean.
  • Install new lighting fixtures to brighten rooms.
  • Replace old windows or add a skylight.
  • Upgrade existing landscaping. Keep it simple in design and easy to maintain.

With proper care, "renovator's disease" can increase the liveability and the resale value of your home. Left unchecked, it can leave you with a home that is overimproved for your neighborhood and a poor financial investment.

How do you know which improvements you should make to your home? That's how I can help. Because I know what features buyers are looking for in homes in your neighborhood, I'll be happy to let you know which improvements will give you the best return on your investment.
