When Should I Upgrade My House?

A normal question I get asked is, “If I am thinking of selling, when should I do the upgrades I am thinking about?”

My first question is: When are you thinking of selling?

If the answer is sometime within the next year, do the upgrades as close to selling as possible. You want to present the best possible product, and everything will look newest and freshest right after you do them. And if you are like me and have kids or animals at home, they will be hard on paint, flooring, or even new appliances quickly. So the closer to sale, the better.

If the answer is more than a year out, do most things now, so you get to enjoy them. New furnace or A/C, new bathroom or kitchen, or new garage are all going to be something you can and should enjoy. It’s your house, give yourself the good stuff.

Obviously, if there is a problem, fix it. Waiting a year to replace a leaky roof can mean you have to fix a lot of other things too.

Or just press the easy button and call me. I can tell you specifically the best options for your situation, and I have great contractors who are priced well and will do what they say they are going to do. I want to help. Please let me. Give me a call!

As always, I love doing what I do. I love looking at the market, and I love building relationships with the people I get to help. Let me know how I can help you. Call me today. You can reach me at 515.724.3163 or RyanLynch@KW.com. I am good at what I do, and I want to help you.

P.S. – Don’t forget I am looking for ugly houses to buy. If you know someone who wants out of their house, and doesn’t want to deal with it, let me know. For just a phone call, I will give you $1,000 once I close on the deal.
