When fixing up your property to sell, keep these four points in mind!
1. Most home improvements cause a property to sell quicker, but not necessarly for more money.
2. Keep an eye on your neighborhood and don't over improve. Some improvements will never pay for themselves if they are out of the ordinary for the neighborhood.
3. Invest where potential buyers will see the improvement that is fresh paint, new carpet, kitchen and bath updates and the like. Things like new wiring or insulation are pluses but don't give as good a return.
4. Most importantly cost doesn't equal value. What is important to one isn't necessarily important to some one else. That is you may have invested heavily into that swimming pool and the buyer's agent reports back the buyers would have made an offer on your house if it wasn't for the swimming pool. Ouch!
Thoughts to keep in mind, until next time
