Selling the Home Vs. Renovating the Home
It’s no doubt many home-owners are finding themselves in a situation of wondering whether to sell their home, or renovate their home. After all, if you are thinking of selling a home in DFW, you’ve likely heard stories from friends and coworkers of their homes going under contract within days of them being listed (some hours!)…and some for full-price or more. You’re probably weighing the decision of putting your home on the market, making a profit, or staying put and renovating your home to make it a better fit for yourself or your family.
Whichever decision you make…it’s a personal one, but one you may also want to discuss with a Realtor. You may be dreaming of a french-country kitchen with all of the upgrades, but you want to make sure that you don’t load the home with upgrades to the extend that you surpass your neighborhoods value (or style for that matter). Some find themselves in this situation when upgrading, then deciding to sell a few years later (and the home doesn’t appraise). Make sure you know your neighborhood’s value, what the average price per square foot is selling for in your neighborhood, and to what extent the competitive properties are upgraded so that you know where to stop 
Sometimes, renovating a home will still not get you the desired look, feel, or space that you need. Sometimes, it’s just time to move on. If that’s the case, and you’re still wondering how your home stacks up against the competition, and you find yourself a little less updated than what you need to get the price you desire when you do sell, it may still be time for a few improvements before putting your home on the market.
Wondering what renovations reap the most reward? Check out this great article on Realtor.com on the top home improvements!
Wondering how YOUR home stacks up with the competition, how long it would likely be on the market based upon selling-comparables or how much you can make on the sale? Feel free to contact me @ 214.901.1341.
I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have.
