FIVE VALUABLE
FIXES FOR SELLING
Based on regional data, sellers
in Bethesda’s Luxury Homes 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.
