Almost no investments are worth more than they cost of done well. High ROI stuff is like paint, bake cookies, have flowers, remove your shit and stage it nicely. Google around there is a really good home rehab and remodel website that’s like the industry standard and will tell you the ROI for basically any home improvement based on benchmarking they do
Ask your realtor what will be worth the investment. Remember you’re selling so don’t do more updates/upgrades than are necessary as you don’t always recover the $$$.
I have similar questions about doing all those upgrades. One friend did a floor allowance for buyers so they could pick hardwood or carpet or whatever. I like that idea. Ultimately a good realtor should be able to advise.
Ask your realtor
Speak with a realtor. Ask for recent comps in your neighborhood and region.
Speak with a realtor. If it’s a starter home there probably isn’t an expectation to have super high end finishes. Probably all you’ll need to do is clean and de clutter and maybe patch a few gouges in the wall and paint. Maybe some light landscaping or swapping of a few hardware pieces / light fixtures. But again it all depends on the comps, which the realtor can help you with
No upgrades. Just fix stuff that didn't work. Broken HVAC and water heaters scare people.
Talk to a realtor. They will tell you what you need to do to sell it. I would not spend any money until I had that direction.
Agree with what people have said here. Very few upgrades will get you more money out than what you put in. There are a few exceptions but it depends a lot on comps and the market in your area
Our house is on the market right now. A deep cleaning, radical decluttering and fresh neutral paint is always a must. Other than that, ask a realtor.
Clean and de clutter. Put 1/2 your stuff in storage. Make the closets seem big by taking out a lot of stuff. Remove personal items like family pictures.
Remove 50% of your furniture and pictures (and anything personal) ... Less crowded = better.
Followed this advise from our realtor and had 3 full asks in 3 days.
Worth investing money for upgrades to granite counters, hardwood everywhere, etc?
Clean it
