Here’s what homeowners should consider before committing to a renovation.

If you’re thinking about selling your Charlotte home, you’re probably wondering about what, if any, renovations you should be doing to maximize your home’s price. Here are three important tasks to complete before committing to a renovation:

1. Look into current market conditions. Right now, we’re in a seller’s market. There are lots of buyers but very few houses. Because of this, you might not have to do as many renovations as you think. Buyers are eager to secure homes and more open to putting strong offers on houses that don’t have as many renovations as they normally would.

2. Complete any unfinished projects. If you have a light fixture out of place or hanging wires somewhere, make sure those projects are completed. We need to repaint any patches from water damage, because that’s going to turn buyers off instantly. We want to present your home in its best possible light. This is a non-negotiable item.

3. Consider which renovations offer the biggest return. This is where you really need a real estate professional who understands the market. We can help guide you through what buyers will pay for. Maybe you just need some new paint and a little hardware to bring top dollar to your home.
