Remodeling Dos and Don’ts

Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX South Coast OR 200508383

There are many remodeling Dos and Don’ts to examine before undertaking a project with regards to your Coos Bay, OR real estate investment.  Underscoring any remodel is a homeowner’s financial position and commitment to the home.  If a remodel is being conducted to create a livable space to be enjoyed for some time and money is no object then remodel choices are not necessarily subject to an analyzing of the return on investment.  If money and value are important and the home will be sold after a remodel takes place then paying attention to current trends and cost vs. value reports is important.

 

Don’t go over the top.  No matter what the remodel, whether it is a kitchen, bathroom, or addition, going over the top with finishes, appliances or accessories will automatically reduce the return on your investment.  It is important to keep in tune with your neighborhood.  If you are in a gated luxury community then your finishes do need to be high end.  You don’t want to have the most luxurious house in a neighborhood because you simply won’t get the return on your investment.

 

Do go green.  Improving your home’s efficiency and impact on the environment can reduce monthly bills and make a home more appealing to potential buyers.  It is important to remember that green is in.

 

Remodeling a home is carried out for one of two reasons: to add value or to make a home more livable.  Knowing your reason for a remodel will factor into your choices.  In the end, however, most people want to add value not reduce value in a home.  Find out what is going on in Coos Bay, OR real estate by contacting Jan Delimont, a Coos Bay Realtor, to get the most out of your Coos Bay, OR home for sale.  Jan Delimont can be reached at 541-290-1850 or by email today.
