Value Added Remodeling Projects that Don’t Break the Bank

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend. It was a great weekend on the lake listening to the kids’ chatter about who’s fish was bigger, heavier, who stayed on the tube longer, who had the better dive, better flip, etc…… I absolutely love these times with the family!

What I also loved about this weekend was helping a couple weigh the pros/cons of upgrading their kitchen. They want to sell in the next few months and was under the impression, today’s buyer wants a brand new kitchen.  After giving them some insight into what’s going on in today’s market, we talked about the current home trends.

If you are planning to sell soon, dollars spent today on remodeling projects should yield a quicker home sales tomorrow, as well as help, sell the home for the most dollars. And remember, they don’t have to break the bank.  Things like…

  • Updating the Entry Way
  • Adding a Backsplash in the Kitchen
  • Using Stencils and Paint to Accent a Wall

This couple is like many of today’s buyers/sellers. Sometimes you need an expert in the field to add a little perspective. If there is a remodeling project that you are not sure if it makes sense to tackle, give me a call at (317) 625-0655 to discuss specifics! I offer a FREE Room By Room Analysis with “No Strings Attached”.  I am happy to give my two cents on repairs/improvements. Ultimately, these projects should yield a quick home sale as well as sell for the most $$$. CLICK HERE to schedule today!

Just Released: May 2020 Housing Data

Dr. Elliot Eisenberg, an internationally acclaimed economist/public speaker says, “National indications are that as the result of the great lockdown of 2020, many families are re-thinking their housing situation and realize that they want something different, usually larger and more tailored spaces, along with less proximity to neighbors. This same scenario may well be playing out here in Indianapolis, where families are now placing a premium on having more space for a home office and workout area.”

I couldn’t agree more. Last week, my Hamilton County listing with six private acres had 32 showings in 4 days. The Seller couldn’t be more pleased with that SOLD sign up in their yard!

Let me show you the housing data just released from the MIBOR BLC® comparing May 2019 to May 2020:

  • An increase in Median Sales Price of 9.2 percent to $215,000
  • An decrease in Closed Sales of 23.3 percent to 2,703
  • New Listings decreased 21.2 percent to 3,744

And more specifically for Marion County….

Despite our current atmosphere, these numbers indicate that many are still eager to buy… When you are ready, give me a call at (317) 625-0655.
