Thinking about renovating your house before you list it? Stop! Before you swing a sledgehammer, let’s talk about Return on Investment (ROI). 🛠️
Not all home improvements are created equal when it comes to resale value.
📈 High ROI Upgrades: Fresh, neutral paint (the highest ROI of all!), updating dated light fixtures, minor kitchen refreshes (think modern cabinet hardware and a new backsplash), and boosting your front porch curb appeal.
📉 Low ROI Upgrades: Luxury swimming pools, hyper-customized room conversions (like turning a bedroom into a permanent, built-in closet), and invisible maintenance (like a new furnace—buyers expect these to work, they generally won't pay a premium for them).
If you are renovating to live, build what you love! But if you are renovating to sell, reach out to us first. We’ll tell you exactly where to put your money to get the absolute highest return on the open market.
