Tackling a Home Renovation in Durham, NC Before You Sell Your Place


This is food for thought, for both a home buyer and seller. Considering the many houses up for sale in NC, what kind of house renovation would hasten a sale? The National Association of Realtors, in an article in Los Angeles Times, confirmed that October showed the best resale activity in the U.S., so far, for the year—an increase of 2.5% YoY from October 2013. The hike was attributed to increased employment and low mortgage rates. This might be the right time to work on your house for a resale. For the kitchen: Conventional materials Kitchens are one of the first places house buyers check out, and some property agents recommend a remodel due to the high return on investment. McLeary says that you need to consider a conventional look for the remodeled kitchen, such as putting natural wood or stone floors, stone countertops, and all-wood cabinets.
