To Renovate or Not To Renovate Before You Sell


 When thinking about selling, homeowners often feel they need to get their house ready with some remodeling to make it more appealing to buyers. However, with so many buyers competing for available homes right now, renovations may not be as vital as they would be in a more normal market. Here are two things to keep in mind if you’re thinking of selling this season.


1. There aren’t enough homes for sale right now.


In a competitive market that’s moving so quickly, it makes sense to sell your house when buyers are scooping homes up as fast as they’re being listed. Today, many buyers are more willing to take on home improvement projects themselves in order to get the home they’re after, even if it means putting in a little extra work. Instead of over-investing in your home with upgrades the buyers may change anyway, work with a real estate professional to determine the key projects that will maximize your listing, without overdoing it.


2. Focus on getting a good return on your investment.


When planning any bigger projects to tackle, you and your real estate agent will want to discuss the potential return on your investment and if those projects are worth the cost. Ideally, homeowners getting ready to move should try to avoid over-investing on big renovations if they won’t make that money back when they sell their house.
