Renovations to Sell Your Home in 2020

Spring is the most popular time of year to buy and sell a home. In fact, real estate listing website Zillow, reports the best time to maximize your return and minimize your home’s time on the market is May 1 to May 15.

“That means now is the ideal time to get your home ready to list,” says Dustyn Shroff, Vice President of GreatFlorida Insurance, Florida’s largest independent homeowners insurance agency.

Getting your home ready to sell might require renovations that can boost your home’s value. Most buyers are interested in a home that is clean with modern updates, that is move-in ready. But before you empty your wallet renovating, it is important to know which renovations yield the highest return for the money.

“While it is not necessary to break the bank on renovations, at best, clean up inside and out,” says Dustyn Shroff, Vice President of GreatFlorida Insurance, Florida’s largest independent homeowers insurance agency.

Also, fix any glaring issues that would deter a buyer such as, popcorn ceilings, stained carpet or broken light fixtures. Paint can do wonders but keep in neutral. Spruce up your yard and entry way with flowers or new house numbers to add curb appeal.

Remodeling magazine comes out with an annual Cost vs. Value report, where they examine the cost of popular home renovations versus the return on investment (ROI) at resale.
