Q: How can I maximize my resale value?
A: An exceptional kitchen attracts buyers like honey attracts
bees. And you can do a great job for less money than you
may think. Here are some suggestions of what not to do:
• Don’t waste money on specialty items like
a pot-filler (the faucet on the wall behind your stove).
It will probably cost you an additional $2,000 with no
resale value.
• Don’t make a center island too large. Designers
say that 8’ long by 4’ wide is the biggest
you should consider – anything more than that is
probably too much... 4’ of counter top is the sufficient
for many cooks.
• Don’t spend a fortune on cabinets. Think
simplicity and ease of use. Cabinetry is usually 60% of
your remodel budget; appliances 25%; countertops 15%.
• Don’t think your kitchen needs a huge commercial
stove. A gas range and electric wall ovens are the most
popular.
To maximize resale value, choose a timeless look and design.
Go for quality and avoid extras. The first impression
will make the sale.
Tax Credit Info
Below is some information about tax credits now available
for energy upgrades.
First it is important to do a review of your energy efficiency.
How green is your home?
Our local utility office may offer an energy audit for
free or for a nominal fee. Go to www.local.com, type in
the city you want, and then search Public Utility Services.
What else? The general rule of thumb is that the first
thing to do is to seal and insulate your house. That one
effort can reduce your heating and cooling bill by about
20%.
The tax credits cover four types of upgrades.
1. Insulation, windows and sealing
2. Home venting, heating, air-conditioning
3. Heat pumps, water heating, small wind generators
4. Hybrid and diesel cars
Having a Green Home that is very energy efficient also
is good for selling. Many buyers will pay more for a home
with these features.
FYI
Heads Up! The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 allows tax credits for energy efficient home improvements.
The offer for credits began on January 1, 2009 and runs
for two years.
The new rules give you through December 31, 2010 to qualify.
The maximum credit is now equal to 30% of the first $5,000
spent on high-efficiency improvements. For more info on
this, go to www.energy.gov/taxbreaks.htm.
Four years ago, Congress passed the Energy Tax Incentives
Act of 2005 for purchases made in 2006 and 2007. The good
news is that even if you took advantage of tax credits
then, you are probably able to benefit again.
As
an additional service we are providing you free use of
our "Market Snapshot" below. We hope you will
find it helpful.
Sincerely,
Bill and Nancy Oakes
