Doing This Won't Increase Your Home's Sale Price

doing this wont increase your homes sale price
You might be surprised, but we typically tell our clients to skip the updates below in favor of other things to get the best ROI:

No: New carpet

Yes: Vinyl plank has (typically) shown to be a better investment.

No: Installing a pool

Yes: Save your money and spend time sprucing up your yard. Pools can sometimes be more of a buyer turn-off than a selling point.

No: Fancy landscaping

Yes: Weeding, mulching, pruning & fresh flowers, yes! However, expensive yard makeovers don’t typically pay off.

No: Personalized upgrades

Yes: Neutral paint is your best friend. Themed rooms & bold paint colors can make it difficult for buyers to envision themselves in the home.

No: Kitchen remodel

Yes: Small updates like new cabinet hardware and updated fixtures go a long way.

No: Bathroom overhaul

Yes: Functional updates like re-grouting tile, replacing fixtures, or updating the vanity are fantastic options.

Thinking of selling? Reach out to us before you make any moves with upgrades - we'll create personalized recommendations, saving you time and money!
