If you're thinking of listing your Mt Hood Home for sale and know it needs a little sprucing up, here are a few tips on the smartest home improvements you can make to help sell your home faster and for more money.
- Kitchen remodeling stands at the top of any list of most attractive projects for re-sale value. Crisp clean new cabinets, fresh tile and countertops all make for buyer approval and is money well spent.
- Bathroom remodeling is a good bet but not nearly as good as adding additional bathrooms, unless your home already has a lot of them.
- Adding central heat and air to replace floorboard or radiator heat is a huge selling point for any Mt Hood home for sale.
- Installing a deck or patio. This one hovers close to the middle of the do/don't numbers but it is still a nice investment that can make your home feel more comfortable and give it more 'space.'
Items that are less likely to be worth the money include:
- Installing a backyard pool. Some people think a pool is attractive. To many buyers, it's nothing but additional work and expense. Unless you live in a climate where the majority of people want a pool, steer clear of this investment.
- Converting your basement into a finished living space. Many buyers like a finished basement, but it's the main living space that counts most to them. Your money would be better spent above ground.
- A large landscaping job. It adds pleasure for you but not immediate gain in measurable value.
