So often we use our emotions and first impressions when looking for our home and when the decor is less than our desired taste we tend to look past the value the home offers on a whole. With upgrades such as hardwood floors, granite counters and finished basments at the top of so many lists, there is a tendency to look past listings that don't offer these items. With home renovations stores offering such competative pricing on do-it-yourself jobs, the cost to finish or upgrade kitchens, bathrooms or the lower level family room my cost less then paying for it within a purchase price. The added bonus is you've choosen the colour, texture and finish and truly made the space your own.
While I firmly believe staging a home is so important when selling, I also believe a buyer should also recongize the value in a well maintained home and look beyond the current finishes and find the hidden jem within every space. This will open the possibilites to the options available within a sellers market find the perfect home at the perfect price.
