The Do's and Don'ts of Home Renovations in a Troubled Real Estate Market


 
In today’s troubled real estate market, one bad move could cost you a sale! Before you consider any home improvement projects, you may want to hear what Joe Scarp, owner/broker of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Phoenician Properties has to say about home improvement do’s and don’ts. 

Kitchen and bathroom renovations are at the top of the list, with the most return on investment and biggest increase to the value of your home. Scarp says “kitchen and bath upgrades can only help you.” 

Other safe renovations that are sure to increase your property value and secure a sale, “new appliances and quality furnishings are also good ideas,” says Scarp. 

As for the “don’ts”, avoid anything too custom like “converting garages into rooms, sports courts in your backyard and build outs’ are among the no-no’s,” he suggests.

“When buyers are looking to purchase a home, some of the things they consider are paint, windows, doors, flooring and the garage. This means as a seller, you should also consider how these areas will be perceived by a potential buyer,” (abc15.com).

  2. It is very important to choose shower door that will help to prevent water leakage. Shower door seals help to fix the door and prevent accumulation of water in the shower place. Frameless shower door seals are also available that perfectly match the shower door.
