To Update or Not to Update?

Contemplating updating your home, but worried about whether it’s worth the cost, not to mention the sweat?

Over the years, as a Realtor, I have seen many poorly done renovations ruining the inherent charm of the home.

If you’ve already undergone a major renovation, I recommend updating comparable quality appliances that can make a significant impact in the pricing of your home. Additionally, minor fixes and updates can also add money to your bottom line.

On the other hand, if you have not gone through a needed renovation, it may not be worth while to do it before you sell. Do not do your buyers renovation for them. It can be easy to renovate yourself into a corner, reducing your pool of buyers.

Rather than taking on a massive project before you sell, a home warranty may be your best bet. A home warranty will give your buyer piece of mind so that they can make these updates at their own pace and with their own choice of appliances and décor.

In today’s market a quick low-cost fix doesn't necessarily translate into a quick profit.
