TOP 5 WAYS TO RAISE YOUR HOME’S VALUE — part 2

You can spend $2200 to $6,000 on 3 new appliances in the KITCHEN, but quality lower priced ones will get the job done OK.  (3)  FRESHEN UP THE BATH – cost range:  $300 to $1,000 with 2-3% return.  The bath needs to look clean & well maintained.  Caulk the tub, re-grout  the tile floor, install new faucets, mirror that blends with fixtures & maybe a new toilet.  Can be bought for $100 to $425.  NO bouncing bathroom floors!  (4)  PAINT THE ROOMS – SELECTIVELY from $100 to do it yours to $1,000 for a pro – 1 to 3% return.  Pick kitchen and baths 1st, then brightly colored rooms – NOT a purple bedroom.  Whites & off-whites tend to attract the most buyers + grays & beiges.  $300 per for a room should do it with good quality paint.  CONTINUED FOR MORE NEXT TIME.
