Real Estate Today

1. Cost does not equal value.  If you finished off your basement six months ago for $12,000, the improvement does not necessarily add $12,000 of value in the eye of the buyers.  Talk to Shelby about the improvements that will give you the highest return!
2. Put your money where buyers will see it.  Examples of good returns might be a fresh coat of paint and sprucing up your front door and entryway.  Do not expect to get as good a return on insulation or new wiring.  Shelby will tour your home for free and give you a list of profitable improvements.
3. Do not over-improve.  The addition of a fifth bedroom to a house in a subdivision of 3-4 bedroom homes may not give you the return you would like.  Use typical improvements for your area as a guide.  
4. Most quality home improvements cause a property to sell quicker but not necessarily for more money.  A timely sale will lessen the carrying costs and stress.  Do not underestimate the overall value of “smart” improvements.  More money, faster sale, lower carrying costs, and more buyers will result when you ask Shelby for a pre-sale consultation for free.  Be sure before you commit to that improvement!
