Will home improvements affect your sale price?

If your home doesn’t measure up to comparable listings, consider remodeling before selling. Before hiring a contractor, consider whether a makeover is worth the cost.

Homeowners often think they can recoup every upgrade dollar. Numerous changes boost marketability without value. Value-added ventures rarely yield a dollar-for-dollar return.

Homeowners may also make changes that are too specific for their tastes and don’t appeal to many buyers.

Homeowners first consider how much it will cost to remove something. Many buyers offer less than my customization cost.

If you’re renovating to increase your home’s value, don’t overdo it.

Consider the drawbacks of “over-improving” your house compared to the neighborhood. Your house may be harder to sell if it’s larger or more expensive than the neighbors’.

If you remodel, remember that some projects add more value than others. Some upgrades cost more than they’re worth when you sell your home. Depending on kitchen size, a Myrtle Beach makeover can cost $12,000 or more.

This may seem like a lot of money, but homeowners sometimes get their money back. Upgrades can sometimes pay for themselves, especially in a competitive market. If updating before selling, homeowners may overspend in this area, so start with basic upgrades under the advice of a real estate expert.

Because homebuyers consider many factors, doing extensive research on your property’s value will help you get the best price.
