My wife and I are undecided...should we add on to our existing home, or buy a larger home?

There are several questions both of you need to consider before you make your decision:

1.   First, what additional space do you need?  Secondly, do you have room to expand on the ground level?  Does the existing foundation of your house support adding a second story?
2.  Do you have the money available to remodel your home either through savings, or will you obtain a home improvement loan?
3.    How much equity do you have in the house?
4.  Do the local zoning and building ordinances allow you to enlarge your current house?
6.    Will your neighborhood home values support your extra expenditure?
7.    Are there properties for sale in other nice neighborhoods that are affordable and meet your needs?
8.  Finally, is your current neighborhood where you want to live? Would remodeling add the most value? Would the work involved in a remodel be worth the time and effort?
    After you answer these questions, you’ll know the best option.

We’ve purchased a new house, and are selling our existing home. We don’t have a lot of money to fix up our existing home before selling it.  Do you have any inexpensive suggestions?

My first suggestion is to deep-clean the house and “make it sparkle!” Here are a few more tricks of the trade to help you get the most for your money:

  • If your master bedroom looks drab, add new linens, pillows, and shams to spice it up the bedroom and add a little color.
  • Buy a bright colored shower curtain and rug to perk up a dull bathroom. Re-grout if your bathroom grout is chipped or discolored.
  • Eliminate clutter. Remove photos, knickknacks, refrigerator magnets and other personal items. Organize your cabinets and closets.
  • Clear off kitchen and bathroom counter tops. Put away appliances.
  • Arrange your furniture so it focuses on your home’s strongest feature (it may a view, a garden, flowers, or a painting). Remove excess furniture. Create a “model home” look, clean, attractive with well-place items.
  • Dress up your rooms with attractive area rugs and framed prints.
  • Install new light fixtures if they’re damaged or unappealing.
  • Paint your walls in neutral tones. Paint the front door if needed.
  • Trim bushes and make sure the outside landscaping is neat and clean.
