Renovate before you sell

Have you been thinking of doing some renovating before you sell?  You might want to think again. 

Renovating when you living in a place for your enjoyment is one thing, but renovations just to make the sale could possibly cost you more than it's worth.  Most renovations do not payback the full amount of the reason in appraisal value but some types of renos are better than others.  For example a good paint job especially at the front entrance can do wonders for resale value as first impressions are very important.  Finishing off a basement before selling could be a bad idea.  How can you tell.

Get a professional Advise before touching anything since most of the value of any property is in the land so keep the renovation simple and practical.
