Kitchen & Bathroom Remodels Offer Best Return for Sellers.

When you are preparing your home to be sold you obviously want to be able to recoup as much money as possible from any upgrading or remodeling you will be doing to make the house, condo or town home more sale-able. In every area of the country bathroom and kitchen remodels offer the most appeal and best return on investment. Typically you can expect 100-105% return on your costs. There are some things to keep in mind though when doing these remodels.

- Keep within the boundaries of your neighborhood. Having a high end slab granite countertop may look great, but if none of your neighbors have slab granite countertops, it will be hard to recoup the cost of the expensive countertop.
- Avoid flashy or bright colors. Go with neutral colors. You may love an exotic or bright color but you need to remember you are remodeling for the buyer and not yourself.
- If you are not sure what direction you should go with your remodeling or a good spending limit for your area, consult your realtor. We are here to help!
