BE$T bang for your buck home improvement for home sale
Respectfully request what you guys think would do to improve your home's value for resale.
Thanks!!
Anything really. But the best bang for the buck is a hard call due to each house needing something different. I would have to say that between the two I have found best, it is a split between a new bathroom and a new kitchen. Mainly because both are used most frequently and are the most personal use rooms in the house that get used the most for the most important things in daily life.
After those two, roof, windows and doors. It’s a combo package. Not 3 separate items.
That’s the house itself. Ddaddy & Jpar nailed it on “Curb appeal” for sure. Curb appeal is an easy thing. Except a new driveway to be laid down, it is inexpensive. Colorful Perennial shrubs decorating the front of the house with symmetry go very far in the visual impact. A well kept green lawn. (If you have a front yard of grass) For the prospective buyer, there is nothing better than to roll up to the house and get a great first impression of a house where they will say, “Yes this is Home! Wonderful to be home again!”
The biggest turn offs are unfinished projects in the inside of the house, wrecked lawns/yards, busted up fences, and in house rooms that are in deep need of re doing. A unfinished basement is better than a finished basement half assed.
For me, the next house I get (in retirement) must be done and finished. If it is not, then the bathroom and kitchen better be a awestruck moment. Everything else I can handle. (Pay for) it is rather not.
