Best advice for Seller's that I have ever seen on Realtor.com:
Just because you love the Brazilian Koa wood flooring you installed throughout the first floor, that doesn’t mean prospective buyers will be willing to shell out extra for it.
“The buyer doesn’t care whether you spent $10,000 or $100,000 on your kitchen,” says Ameer. “They are only going to offer what they feel the home is worth in relation to area comparable sales.” So, save your breath, or else you’ll risk sounding like you’re trying too hard to justify your price."
Moral of the this story: If you want to do something to your home because it's what you want to do, Do It. But, if you are trying to improve your net return when you sell one day, consult with a Realtor to determine the best places to spend your improvement money. A good one will help you even if you aren't going to sell for years to come.
