If you’re like me, you’re constantly looking for ways to improve the value of your home. Do we redo the bathroom? The kitchen? How about new windows? Wouldn’t it be nice to finally install that pool? But in this economy, you have to weigh the cost versus the value, especially if you see yourself selling in the near future.

The important questions you must ask if you are considering a significant home improvement project as a means to increase your resale value are Can I get my money back? and Will my project appeal to the majority of buyers in the market? Not everyone wants an elaborate fountain in the front yard, and while you’ve always wanted the super-retro kitchen, will it really sell?

If you’re in the process of making these kinds of decision and would like expert advice, contact me so we can weigh the cost versus the value. And as always, if you would like information about the buying and selling of Westchester real estate, Playa Del Rey real estate, Marina Del Rey real estate, Playa Vista real estate and other Westside real estate, contact me directly at 424.203.1828 or by email at Stephanie.Younger@telesproperties.com
