Should I remodel my condo to sell?

Many sellers are redesigning their condos to help them sell quickly, but there are things to consider before embarking on a remodeling project.

Selling limits: The price your condo will sell for is largely tied to the sales price of units sold recently in the same building. Remodeling may not give you a sufficient edge.

Age matters: Condos built in the last 10 years may still look good. Ask your real estate agent about remodels in your building and their returns on investment.

Know your buyers: Focus on changes that most young professionals are likely to be looking for, as, in most cases, they will be your target buyers.

Smart touches: Inexpensive extras often make a bigger impact than thousands of dollars spent on fixes. Don't disregard the value of a gleaming clean, decluttered, spacious-seeming interior.
