FIVE VALUABLE
FIXES FOR SELLING
Based
on regional data, sellers in Bethesda’s In-Town neighborhoods
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.
