Many buyers me they want a house with ‘good bones’ — that is, a home with all the major expensive maintenance items completed.  It’s especially important to first time buyers who have to make every dollar count towards a down payment or closing costs.  They are often willing to remodel the inside of the home themselves.

While out on tour yesterday, I stopped by this house in the Broadland subdivision near 79th Street.  There are so many smaller houses in this area, many need some TLC.  When I toured this home, I thought:  this is an excellent example of how paint, tile and decor can really change the look of a smaller home.

Buyers–see what’s possible here  when you buy a home that needs a bit of decor.  Do most of the work yourself by fixing up with color, inexpensive white cabinets, newer appliances and contemporary decorating, and you’ve have more return for the money when it’s time to sell.
