Fox, Licensed Realtor WHICH IMPROVEMENTS MAKE SENSE? QUESTION: How prudent do you think it is to make MAJOR improvements in a home that will shortly be put up for sale? ANSWER: Seldom do such improvements bring more than fifty cents on the dollar. And all bets are off if you overvalue your house in relation to others in the neighborhood. Few buyers will spend $100,000 for a house in a $50,000 neighborhood. Adding an extra bedroom or in-ground pool will increase the value of your home—but only at a fraction of the cost. The only money you should spend on a house to sell it at a higher price is for repairs that are OBVIOUSLY NEEDED to put your best foot forward. OVERIMPROVING A HOME just prior to selling will lessen your profit. Please Phone Ray A.
