I’m considering selling my townhouse (1900 sq ft) and would appreciate some advice on whether certain repairs and updates make sense financially. The house has appreciated from $500K to $680K, and I’m weighing the costs of renovations against the potential return.
Most of the appliances are new.
Here’s what I’m considering:
Remodeling a small bathroom: The tiles are broken, and I’ve received a quote of $4K for labor (materials not included).
Updating the vanity and sink: This would be for a powder room.
Replacing tiles: Less than 100 sq. ft. of flooring in the kitchen area. This is a wood tile
Replacing the gas range and oven: Rest all the appliances are very new.
Painting walls: A fresh coat of paint throughout.
Changing the carpet: The current carpet is quite worn.
Roof: It’s a 25-year-old shingle roof. I haven’t had any issues, but I’m unsure if it’s worth replacing proactively.
Water Heater: 2018
Washer Drier, Microwave, Dishwasher : 2020+
HVAC: 2004, Not sure if it is worth it to replace it. I have gotten quotes for 15000.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
Which of these updates are most likely to add value or help the home sell faster?
Whether the roof should be a priority, given its age but lack of problems.
Any other cost-effective improvements I might consider
