[box]That is a great question and we get asked that all the time. Should I put new floors,in, update the kitchen, add a deck? Sorry to say there is no quick and easy answer. The right improvements to your home will definitely make it more desirable and likely help it sell more quickly but your return depends on the renovations you choose, and how you get them done.
The Appraisal Institute of Canada has created a handy tool for calculating estimated returns on renovations. These are estimates only, based on surveys they have conducted with their members.If you are handy, or have friends and or family who are, you can probably cut the labour side of things and increase these returns.
This is provided as a guide only. We do not guarantee any return on your investment for any renovations. If you have specific questions about what renovations are worth doing to your home in preparation for a sale please contact us directly for your free consultation.
