Improvements to Your Philadelphia Real Estate

According to an article by Al Heavens, Philadelphia real estate improvements may not guarantee a boost in the sales price of your property. He notes that, while “doing the necessary improvements to a house will help it compete,” extravagant or unnecessary improvements may not increase your sales price. The main thing that sellers should make sure they are doing is listing their Philadelphia real estate based on the current market value, which means that it is listed to sell within 30 to 90 days. Bottom line, do not make the assumption that your renovations and construction projects are going to increase the value of your property, and, if they were to, that that increase in value will equal out to the amount you spent.
