However, don’t be blinded by a smaller loan. Home renovation is expensive, and you’ll either be paying a contractor a fair amount for updates or doing a lot of the work yourself. LearnVest spoke with a real estate agent about what you should consider when you’re thinking about a house that needs some TLC. Do You WanT a Dream Home? a fixer-upper allows you lots of opportunities to make the house your own.

Since it already needs the work, you can rip up the floors, knock down a wall or two, change the lighting fixtures or baseboards, put a deck in the back, add a window — make it what you want. This is typically less expensive than building a new house.

Can You Do THe Work YourSeLf? Consider your knowledge and ability to do the needed contracting work. How much time the work will take and do you have that time? What tools will you need and will you buy or rent tools?

uying a house that needs work can seem like a great way to save money as homeowners typically ask for less for a house that needs a lot of repairs. for some buyers, this is a good option; it allows them to get many of the benefits of designing a home without building from scratch and means a smaller loan amount and smaller monthly payments.

Building Versus Buying

t’s hard to find the perfect house; for most people, it’s a matter of finding the house that meets as many of your wants as possible for the price you can afford.

However, if you know there are some must-haves that you’re just not finding in what’s on the market in your area, consider building your own home. Realtor.com looked at the pros and cons and building versus buying.

UpfRont Costs

the median cost of buying an existing house in the United states is $223,000, which, for the average size lot, is about $148 per square foot. A new home in a comparable market is likely to cost just short of $300,000.

However, homes being built today are typically much bigger than older homes; the median size of a new home is 2,467 square feet, compared to the 1,500-square-foot homes of the 1960s. that works just to just more than $100 per square foot. It also means you’re paying only for what you want; hardwood floors increase the value of a home, but if you don’t want hardwood, it’s not worth paying extra for it. of course, there is no typical real

Realtor.com reported that homes built in this century use about 20 MAIntenAnCe Costs percent less energy in heating than A new home means new appliances, older homes.

are less likely to break down and need to be repaired or replaced, which can get expensive. If they do break down, many of those appliances are likely to be covered by warranties, and builders also frequently offer a new construction warranty with an upfront cost.

AppReCIAtIon

Building a home is more of a financial gamble, particularly in a new neighborhood. there aren’t enough data to know how a new neighborhood will age or how the style of a new house will work 10 to 20 years down the line. older houses have a stronger track record on which to base value.

hile your home does not need to be in brand-new condition, there are many things you can do to help boost the value and make the property more enticing to potential homebuyers. You should make the necessary repairs, of course: fix broken baseboards and cupboards and get leaks taken care of.

But much of getting your house ready is helping buyers see their family living in the house, not yours, according to Realtor.com.

Repaint With neutRal ColoRs Your house may be filled with your personality — a bright red front door, stars or shapes painted in kids’ rooms, and multi-colored walls. if you want your house to go more quickly and to go for more money, it’s better to paint the walls with neutral colors like tan and off-white. You don’t want buyers to walk away with memories of the paint instead of the house. even if you don’t have crazy colors, consider the paint job. is it old or faded?

Does it make your house a little dingy? so much of buyers’ first impressions come at first glance, and you don’t want them to notice the work the house needs before they notice the good qualities of the house.

FinD anD Fix issues hire a home inspector to

look at the roof, foundation, structural integrity of the house, wiring, plumbing and other big-ticket items.

Know how old the water heater and a/C unit are and check for mold and termites. also look for repairs that are quick and easy and can

go a long way toward attracting buyers. Be on the lookout for rot around doors and windows, visible cracks in the walls, warping in hardwood floors, broken cabinet doors or door handles, a sliding glass door that sticks, broken light fixtures and more.

upgRaDe a newly renovated kitchen or bathroom, new windows or fancy ceiling fans or light fixtures can make your house look sharper and help attract buyers who are willing to pay more. according to the national association of Realtors,

hardwood floors give sellers a 100 percent return on their investment, and a new roof is more than pays for itself. Figure out how much you’re willing to spend and what will have the greatest net value.
