Remodeling your home is something that is very popular right now, much due to TV shows portraying it as a simple and rewarding process. Unfortunately, this is not always an accurate description. Statistics show that if you remodel your home before a sale, the increase in value only helps you recoup between 50-80% of the money spent on remodeling. This means that you would have been better off not doing the remodel and selling the house as-is.
So what would be an option to remodeling that gives you better return for your money and effort?
The first thing is repairs. These will have a positive impact on the selling price if they are taken care of. You could also do some simple landscaping around your house to make it look more appealing to a potential buyer.
A cheap investment is to paint, since this is fairly simple, while making your home look fresh.
