UrbanTurf Reader Asks: What Home Renovations Increase Resale Value?
In this installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader who eventually wants to put his four-bedroom home in Capitol Hill on the market wonders what parts of the house should be renovated in order to enhance the resale value.
I own a four-bedroom row house in Capitol Hill and my wife and I are considering renovating it with the idea that we will put it up for sale in the coming 12-18 months. Neighbors and friends have said that upgrading the kitchen and bathrooms (which need it) should be at the top of the list, but are there other areas to focus on? The basement is not "finished" in the real estate sense of the word, so that is a possibility. We bought the property in 1993, and have not upgraded it since. To the UrbanTurf audience, what areas of the house should we concentrate on to ensure the highest return when we put it on the market?
