What to Renovate Before Selling Your Home in Wilmington, NC.

Updated: Mar 29, 2023

If You're thinking of Selling Soon, Certain Rooms are Better Than Others!


Sometimes, we just know our tenure in our home is nearly over. However, we can

often be in a weird spot where we need to live there a little longer and want to get more money out of our home! So, if you're on the verge of selling, but want to enjoy your home a little longer, here are some great rooms to renovate. Also, if you're just not sure you'll stay in your home for a long time, these are the best rooms to renovate just in case you end up selling.



Kitchen

In general, kitchens have the best ROI out of all renovations. This is also a great room to improve your current stay in your home as it is a super functional room and will make your life easier. Even if you don't sell, you can't go wrong with a kitchen. Just be sure to focus on both function and form. If you go too fancy with little things you love but don't help the functionality, you will not quite get as good of an ROI on your investment. If you love the changes, that's totally fine, but if you plan on selling, think of who might use it next!


Bathrooms

After kitchens, you have another functional room, bathrooms. Again, this is another room that gets used all the time, and because of that, it has great ROI. Especially if you have very outdated bathrooms, this could actually jump into the number one spot. However, bathrooms are different because you can not only update your current ones but add a new bathroom or half-bath has possibly the highest ROI. So, think about removing space from your living room or family room and adding that extra bathroom.


Deck or Four-Season Room

Again, this dramatically increases your time in the home and will help you sell for more money. If you already have a deck, consider adding a four-season room. Either a deck or the four-season room is excellent in Wilmington because you can take advantage of it for so long. So, if you plan on leaving, but want to enjoy your home, think about adding a deck!


Energy-Efficient Windows


Last but not least, windows give some of the best ROI. They let in more light and keep your home either colder or hotter, depending on the season. This will make your home more comfortable and save you a lot of money on energy bills. So, when someone buys your home, they will want to see energy-efficient windows!
