9 Real Estate Myths for the Home Buyer or Home Seller – Day 5

Myth #5: If I remodel the kitchen/bathroom my house will sell faster
Yes, if you have a big repair by all means fix it. If you are just thinking that you don’t like the fixtures or the backsplash anymore then take a minute, step back and ask yourself: Will I really get that much more money for my home by changing these things out? Is it going to be worth the trouble? You have to remember also that not everyone is going to share your personal taste. If you go in and do a remodel and it is not to the new buyers liking then they are faced with well do we remodel again or just live with it. You might instead of remodeling think about pricing the home a little lower or allotting some money for upgrades.
