FIVE VALUABLE
FIXES FOR SELLING
Based on regional data, sellers in East Bethesda can’t
go wrong by implementing the following top five fixes to their
homes in preparation for selling:
1. SIDING REPLACEMENT
Whether you replace your current siding with new fiber, cement, or vinyl, sellers
can expect to recoup between 82-89 percent of the cost while creating essential “curb
appeal” for buyers. |
 |
2. WOOD DECK ADDITION
Statistics show an 86 percent recoup of cost by adding a deck.
If you already have one, try adding a built-in bench and planter
with the same type of wood to add value. Be sure to use long-lasting
materials, and avoid complicated patterns. |
 |
3. MINOR KITCHEN FACELIFT
Investing in a minor kitchen facelift might cost you anywhere between $6,000-$20,000,
but the recoup value is estimated at 83 percent. The emotional difference to
buyers can mean the difference in a sale as well.
4. WINDOW REPLACEMENT
Three types of window replacements are among the most popular upgrades, and their
recoup values are high: upscale vinyl (81 percent); wood (80 percent); and
midrange vinyl (80 percent). Any window replacement is typically worth the
investment. |

5. BASEMENT REMODEL
Recreation room? Kids play area? No matter what your purpose, improving
the basement will give potential buyers plenty of ideas of
their own. And a recoup value of 80 percent is well worth the
effort.
