What should I renovate?

What should I renovate before selling my home? I have about $10K to put towards it. The house is cared for, but really dated.

Hard to answer this question without seeing the home but a fresh coat of paint does wonders and a good cleaner and stager to get the home photo ready. Declutter and let the experts help you. Upgrades can be different in every market and price point. Talk with your agent about it. I do it all the time for my clients.

Investing in deep cleaning and decluttering to make the home shine and smell great. After that, painting and floor refinishing or new carpeting will work wonders.

New carpet and new paint are the biggest bang for your buck. After that, anything you can do in the kitchen within budget will be very helpful. Used stainless steel appliances are much cheaper than new, and buyers expect used appliances anyway!

I actually shot a video about this exact subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqZz4b6W52Q With that budget, I would definitely start with Paint and basic landscaping. If it has old carpet, I would start there.

  • What updates are worth it?

    We're thinking of selling our condo. There are some things that are outdated or that could be updated. We don't want to waste our money on things that don't matter, but also want our condo to sell for the best possible price. So, what updates are worthwhile?
