Renovate Your Home Before Selling It<\/h1>\n

Renovating your property before it sells can make a difference. But in markets where buyer demand is strong, it might not matter.<\/h2>\n
By\u00a0Robyn A. Friedman<\/span><\/div>\n

With\u00a0housing inventory at historic lows<\/a>\u00a0in many parts of the U.S., you might be hoping to capitalize on the market by listing your home. After all, it\u2019s ready to go; you have a new roof, fresh paint, mulched beds, and you even planted flowers. But what about that dated interior? Should you update your home before listing it?<\/p>\n

That depends. There are many reasons to update your home if you\u2019re able to do so. Many buyers today want\u00a0a turnkey opportunity<\/a>\u2014a home in move-in condition. An updated home may also compete better against others on the market, especially new construction. Perhaps most importantly,\u00a0first impressions matter<\/a>. Many buyers see your home first online, so a home that presents better may spark more interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour first showing is done before the buyer ever walks through the door,\u201d said Josh Dotoli, a real-estate agent with Compass Florida in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. \u201cThe smallest details make all the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Mr. Dotoli doesn\u2019t recommend piecemeal renovations. \u201cIf the entire house needs to be updated, make the presentation as good as it could be\u2014clean, neat and organized,\u201d he said. \u201cDon\u2019t worry if the house doesn\u2019t match up to the latest design magazines. An older home that\u2019s well cared-for shows it was loved and will attract the right buyer at the right price.\u201d<\/p>\n
