Remodeled to Sell, or Not

With backlogs of unsold properties on the market, home sellers should consider that remodeling often helps with the bottom line. Homeowners may not recoup the entire cost of remodeling their outdated kitchens or bathrooms, but there is little doubt that such modern updates may help sell a home faster.
A well-designed kitchen is obvious even to those with untrained eyes, as well as to those who are looking to purchase a home that needs work. Houses with remodeled kitchens also look better than comparable homes for sale in the neighborhood with kitchens that need work. Even if homeowners are not immediately ready to sell, they can enjoy a remodeled kitchen until the time does come to sell. Remodeling may be a prudent financial decision, but the most important reason to remodel is to improve the family’s quality of life – and few rooms impact on that quality like the kitchen.
If your home features a “cramped” bathroom, “bumping out” an exterior wall can pay big dividends. Even a modest boost of six or seven extra square feet can have a transformative effect. In fact, that may be all the extra space needed to convert a half-bath into a full bath or install a two-sink vanity. Of course, a bump-out is a bit more involved than the usual remodel, but most homeowners find that the added extra cost is well worth it.
HINT: If homeowners are going to remain in their homes for another five years, they should invest in quality products.
