What Catches Buyers Eyes?

Today home buyers are in the market for homes that are updated and move-in-ready. However, there are cases where buyers are looking to do the remolding themselves to make a profit. Popular move-in-ready homes today consist of: hardwood floors, marble counter tops, stainless steel appliances, clean paint, smooth/high vaulted ceilings, clean carpet with no odors, 2+ bathrooms, 3+bedrooms, walk in showers, Jacuzzi, decent size yard, and a shop for extra storage and space. Each of these amenities adds value to the home. If you are looking to put your house on the market it is important to do as much updating as possible to get the highest dollar out of your home. You don't want to sit on a home you are trying to sell too long.

Below is an example of a late 1930's home that was fully remolded for a sell. You will notice how the kitchen is fully updated with stainless steal appliances, wood floors, fresh paint, walk in shower, vanity, and staged well with no clutter.
