Top 10 Home Improvements That Pay You Back 

By Tom Kraeutler

 

If you're planning to sell your house any time soon, home improvements that build property value should be on your to-do list. It's a buyer's market, and between tighter purse strings and plenty of properties to choose from, shoppers want homes that are move-in ready and free of the need for home improvement projects that will add to their own bottom lines.

 

"There's enough inventory out there right now that buyers can find what they like without having to compromise," says Harrison Tulloss, a ZipRealty agent based in Raleigh, N.C. "They don't have the money or inclination to put in a down payment, get a loan and then turn around and spend more cash to do exactly what they want to improve a property."

5 Mistakes Homesellers Should Avoid

By Brendon DeSimone

 

After years of dead open houses, price reduction after price reduction and failed attempts to sell homes, many real estate markets are picking up. This could be welcome news to someone who has been forced to have kids share a bedroom, suffer through a long commute or any number of reasons why folks would want to sell their home.  

 

Even though sales activity is up, sellers still must be ready to do what it takes to get their home sold. It's still not the good old days. Buyers continue to be cautious and don't want to make a bad decision. It's more important than ever to do what it takes to work with potential buyers and prepare as best you can to get your home sold.

 

Here are five mistakes that serious sellers must avoid when going on the market today.
