Kitchens and Baths

How much return you get on your investments depends alot on where you decide to spend the money. More times than not, your kitchen and bathroom will deliver the most return for your money. When deciding how to makeover these rooms, stick with classic and traditional looks. Don't worry if you aren't able to enjoy these improvement and remember that it is a short-term investment that you will see a generous return on.

Expand

When all else fails, adding more square footage is almost always a good idea. Especially in hot area markets where square footage is at a premium, an extra bedroom can add a ton of value to your home. Additionally, adding a bedroom to your home will increase the amount of buyers that are willing to come see it. This is especially true in cases of homes that only have one bedroom or one bathroom.Spending more cash on your home right before selling can feel like a waste of money. However, making the right investments can be well worth the effort. Just do your research before making any decisions and the results will most certainly pay off.

 Maintenance Items

When selling your home, make sure that you first spend your dollars on items that are required to keep your home safe and in good order. These items can include a new roof or water heater. Now is the time to fix these items as homebuyers will not want to buy a home that screams ''immediate maintenance required'. Homebuyers almost always will shell out the extra cash if it means having a move in ready home.If you are interested in buying or selling property in the Costa Mesa area, Contact Torelli Realty.
