When you’re getting ready to sell, it’s tempting to fix everything. That’s how sellers spend money they never get back. Some projects pay off, some big ones don’t come close, and some “dated” features are the reason a buyer falls in love. Join me live Wednesday, October 21 at 11:30 AM Mountain Time. In 30 minutes we’ll cover: Fix it: what’s broken, unsafe or sure to be flagged, plus cheap updates buyers notice right away Leave it: remodels that rarely earn back their cost, and original details some buyers search for Disclose it: why being upfront in your seller disclosure protects you For a sense of scale: a garage door replacement is estimated to return about 268% of its cost at resale. A midrange major kitchen remodel returns about 51%. Those are national averages from the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report by Zonda. They’re estimates of resale value, not actual sale prices, and they aren’t Utah-specific. Send me a photo of the room you’re most worried about, or drop it in the comments. I’ll tell you live whether I’d fix it, leave it or show it off. #MoveUpWeek #HomeSellerTips #SellingAHome #UtahRealEstate #CharmingHomes ⭐ Kelsey Earl, Keller Williams South Valley, 801-419-8917, [email protected], Your lifelong friend in real estate
