Is It Worth Renovating Your Home Before Selling
It?
2

• If youre selling your home in a hurry and
  circumstances demand that you move quickly,
  youre not going to spend valuable time
  renovating your home to help you sell it, thats
  a given. But if you want to sell up and move and
  dont have a specific deadline in place,
  renovating your home could help you make the
  property more appealing to buyers, and certainly
  help you sell it for more.
• Here are a few reasons that make a pre-sell home
  renovation, worth the investment

3

• It can increase your homes value
• The average value of a renovated property
  increases by as much as 20 according to the
  National Association of Realtors, little surprise
  when you consider that most buyers want to move
  into a modern home that doesnt require any
  upgrades or costly modifications. But the quality
  of the renovation can make a big difference to
  the final selling price, and in some cases, a low
  quality renovation from an in experienced
  construction company, can even lower the value of
  a home.

• It can attract more potential buyers
• By making your home look more appealing, both
  inside and out (exterior renovations are
  sometimes just as important in terms of helping
  sell a property), you can attract potential
  buyers who might otherwise not have considered
  your property, and make your home stand out over
  similar homes in your area.
• A family of five, for example, might have
  overlooked your home because it didnt have an
  all-important fourth bedroom. But, if youve
  renovated your home and turned an attic space
  into a comfortable kids bedroom (which can be
  converted into an office as/if and when needed),
  you can attract bigger families and compete with
  bigger homes in the area.

5

• It can improve your quality of life
• Even if you renovate your home with the sole
  purpose of making it more appealing to buyers and
  being able to sell it at a higher price, you can
  still enjoy the benefits of your newly renovated
  home while you wait for a deal to go through.
  Renovating might also help you decide what you
  want from your new home, and after completing a
  successful renovation on your existing home, you
  might feel more confident tackling a similar
  project in another property that you buy. Once
  youre a renovation pro, there might be no
  stopping you!

• Or, who knows, with such a wonderful new home,
  you might just decide to stay in it and enjoy all
  of the new features and additions yourself!
• While it might seem counterintuitive to renovate
  a property you no longer want to live in, as you
  have read, doing so can provide you with
  significant advantages. From increasing its value
  and enabling you to sell it for more, to
  providing potential buyers with a more functional
  and attractive home than others on the market in
  your area, pre-sale renovations can be lucrative,
  giving you a great return on your investment.
  Just be sure to renovate your home in a way that
  is likely to be appealing to buyers, and if you
  dont plan to live in it yourself, consider their
  potential circumstances instead of your own.
