The Stephanie Woods Team says there's no guarantee that the dollar you
spend on remodeling today will come
back to you if you have to sell your home. Try these six tips for spending remodeling
dollars wisely no matter what the project.
#1. Match Materials to the Neighborhood
Using low-end remodeling finishes in a high-end neighborhood diminishes
your home’s value, and putting high-end finishes in a lower-priced neighborhood
won’t push your home’s sale price much above the last sale price.
#2. Do the Job Right
If you can't do professional quality remodeling work, hire someone who can.
Nobody pays top dollar for amateur workmanship.
#3. Blend in with the Neighbors
If you over-improve, you’ll get less at resale. Would you pay full price
for a mansion located in a trailer park?
#4. Think Timeless
Today’s trendy remodeling finish choices are tomorrow’s dated décor. Even a
beautifully executed remodeling project fades in value over time. Brass
bathroom fixtures, anyone?
#5. Finish Existing Space First
A remodel that turns storage areas (think basement or attic) into useable
space trumps adding completely new rooms. It’s cheaper to finish existing
spaces than add new ones.
#6. Make Sure Additions Aren’t Really Subtractions
A third bedroom transformed into a walk-in closet might bring you bliss, but
it eliminates a bedroom and will lower your home value at resale.
