Smart Remodeling for Sellers
I
f you’re holding off on putting up the “for sale” sign
until you finish all those repairs and updates, think
carefully about how you use your remodeling dollars.
Of course worn out carpet or dull, tired
hardwood floors should be replaced.
Making the wrong remodeling choices,
however, might put off some buyers
who aren’t particularly fond of your style
decisions.
kitchen, this might be a good upgrade to
complete before you list. The same goes
for stainless steel appliances. If you live in
an area where buyers are likely to have the
environment on their minds, perhaps some
efficiency upgrades are in order.
MAXIMUM IMPACT
The experts say to put your remodeling
money where you’ll get the most bang
for your buck — typically bathrooms and
kitchens or bringing the home up to par
with the amenities offered by other homes
on the market in your area. For example,
if many of the homes with which you’re
competing for buyers have granite in the
KEEP IT SIMPLE
The key is to know your market and make
sure you keep your projects as simple and
neutral as possible to appeal to the largest
number of buyers. Not every buyer is going
to love the pink-tinged granite you chose
for the countertops or the nautical navy-
blue-and-white-striped paint in the master
bath.

Sandburg
Many Realtors and home stagers will
suggest that homeowners remove as many
of their own personal touches as possible
from their homes before listing, in order to
give potential new owners a blank canvas
on which to imagine themselves in the
home. So instead of using your remodeling
budget to complete specific projects you’ve
dreamed of, let potential buyers imagine
their own style choices taking shape.
A PLEASING PALETTE
When you’re choosing palette and styles,
think classic, simple and neutral. This will
appeal to the largest number of buyers.
According to Realtor.com, a Better Homes
and Gardens survey of 400 homeowners
found that while people love to see homes
decorated with bold colors in magazines,
they want their own space to be a little less
splashy. Sixty-two percent favored a blue
palette, while green was another favorite.
Fifty-seven percent of homeowners said
they preferred neutral-toned paint for
interior walls.
THINK OF YOUR BUYERS
If you’re delaying putting your home on the
market, ask yourself if the projects you’ve
planned are neutral and commonly sought-
out upgrades with wide appeal. Otherwise,
think again.
Remember, you won’t be the one soaking
in that garden tub with the flashy marble
surround. It would be a shame for all that
work — and the expense — to go to waste
on buyers who make a lower offer since
they plan to rip it out and start again.
Keep your home’s future owners in the
back of your mind when making design
decisions. After all, you’ll be calling a
new place home. Focus your efforts on
matching your new home’s style to your
tastes.
