Sell or Remodel Your Home

Sell or Remodel Mesa Real Estate


Bathroom Remodel Bathroom Remodel

Should sell or remodel your home be a fair question in today's market. Every year surveys confirm that homeowners get a better return on kitchen and bath remodeling than on any other home-improvement project. Although you may not get 100% of your investment back when you sell your home, kitchen and bath upgrades will help sell your home more quickly, and you'll get to enjoy the improvements until then.

It makes sense to splurge on luxuries you can afford if you plan to live in your home for a while. If you'll only be there a few years, however, maximize the return on your investment by choosing good-looking, less-expensive alternatives to high-priced finishes and appliances.

How To Get The Most For Your Money


Do the walls seem to be closing in on you? Are your cupboards and closets overflowing with stuff? Can you see more toys than flooring at your feet? If so, you need more space. And your choices are remodel your home, move to a larger one, or move to a home that you want to remodel.

How can you decide which approach is best for you? Start by considering your priorities. If you are basically happy with your current location, the relative cost of your options is likely to make the decision for you.

Wish List


Wine Room Remodel Wine Room Remodel

Take an inventory of your current house to determine whether remodeling will work for you. Look at each room. Do all of them need help? If so, remodeling may be too expensive and a move might be your only practical choice. If just one area of the house needs work that can be accomplished by bumping out a wall or adding on, then remodeling may be the correct move for you. Consider what you would have to do to the basic structure of your house to arrive at your dream home.

Cost


How much money can you afford to spend? Would you need a construction loan to remodel, or would you take money out of your home’s equity? If you must borrow money to remodel, will the cost of the loan, combined with your existing mortgage payment, be more than the monthly payments for a new home with the space and amenities you want? Moving may be easier and less expensive.

Kitchen Remodel Kitchen Remodel

Calculate how much it would cost you to replace your current home with one that meets your needs. What improvements could you make to your current home for the same investment? Will a new addition of, say, a master bedroom suite, be enough to satisfy your desire for a new look and more space? Or do you need more living space all over the house?

Is your desire for newer amenities the driving force for a new home? If you’re looking to modernize wiring and plumbing or increase hi-tech capabilities, it might be better to move into a house that already has these features.

Self Storage Packing Tips

We hear of people all the time who rent a storage unit and half way into filling the unit they realize the unit is either too big or too small. When packing the storage unit, think of it like a game of Tetris. Every item should have its own spot while also leaving space for other items and room for you to move inside the unit. A convenient storage sizes calculator will aid you in your search for the perfect storage unit and below are some helpful hints on how to pack your unit properly.



  • [caption id="attachment_7109" align="alignright" width="283" caption="Self Storage Packing Tips"]Self Storage Packing Tips[/caption]

    Use boxes which are the same size so they can fit perfectly on top of one another or side by side.

  • Don’t over pack boxes. Putting your collection of books in 1 box while another box holds 4 pillows is a great way to destroy your back, the boxes and your day. Stacking heavy boxes on light boxes will crush your belongings. Remember, you may want to pack everything you own in to the minimal number of boxes but you do have to move and lift the boxes.



  • If possible, do not place cardboard boxes directly on the floor of the unit in case of any moisture getting into the storage unit.



  • Disassemble bed frames, tables and dresser drawers to make more space for storing. This will also allow you to move your things easier in the future.

  • Keep items you will need at the front of the storage unit so you don’t have to dig to the back and move everything out again.



  • Smaller furniture and boxes can be stacked on top nearly to the ceiling.



  • Utilize all of the space in the storage unit. If you have enough room, make a small path from the front of the storage unit to the back in order to easily move and get to items when you need them.



  • Bonus Tip: A ladder can be a useful tool if you are storing items from floor to ceiling. 


These self storage packing tips should give you a good head start on how to pack your belongings properly. Remember, SelfStorageFinders.com lists thousands of self storage facilities around the country if you are in need. Give it a shot and rent from your couch in a few simple steps!
