Smart renovations to help you sell faster

When you put your home on the market, renovations can be worth their weight in gold if you invest your time and money in the right places. Some renovations can help you sell more quickly, but other changes could just be a waste of money in terms of resale value. Here are some tips on how to renovate wisely.

You don’t have much of a budget? Re­ member that you don’t necessarily have to do major renovations. A simple coat of paint can significantly improve the overall look of a home and make it more sellable. Just be sure to choose neutral, contemporary colours and avoid garish tones. No matter what, don’t forget the exterior siding; that’s what potential buyers see first.

If you’re able and willing to undertake more extensive renovations, the kitchen and bathroom should be at the top of the list because they’re the most cost effective.

Improvements to your home’s energy ef­

ficiency allow you to recover a good per­ centage of the amount invested, and the same goes for replacing flooring or win­ dows. Conversely, putting in a swimming pool isn’t cost­effective. It has little impact on the value of the house and could even be considered a disadvantage by potential buyers who only see the additional main­ tenance work involved.

Avoid renovations that would give your home too high a value compared to neigh­ bouring properties. It would be wise to put your home on an equal footing with others in your area by adding a feature they all have, such as a second bathroom. Last but not least, keep in mind that poorly done work may even devalue your home.
