In a recent study, a midrange bathroom renovation paid off with an average 102% return on investment and an upscale bathroom renovation recouped 93% of its cost. A midrange kitchen renovation recouped 91% of its cost on average, and an upscale kitchen recouped 85%. A minor kitchen-remodeling job returned 99% of its cost.

Proper maintenance and annual upkeep of your Oro Valley home may be the most important improvements of all. Clean the gutters to protect the exterior from water damage. Trim shrubs. Check for termites. Keep track of annual checkups -- and use that as a selling point. Annual maintenance pays back handsomely when you sell. And before the house goes up for sale, experts recommend a fresh coat of paint.
Oro Valley FAIR MARKET VALUE
Setting the right price is an important first step in getting a home sold. Sellers often wonder if they should spend $200 to $400 for a professional appraisal of their Oro Valley real estate before placing it on the market.
WAYS TO DETERMINE VALUE IN Oro Valley
A professional appraiser's opinion of a property's market value is based on the recent sales of similar Oro Valley real estate. Different appraisers could come up with different numbers. Even if all of them agreed on a value, there is no guarantee that you would receive that amount for your property. An alternative to a professional appraisal is to ask a professional Realtor for a written market analysis of your property. This analysis will include information about recent home sales in your neighborhood, as well as how those homes compare to yours.
Oro Valley Real Estate Contract Options
Less common types of agreements include what is known as a “One Time Show,” and “Exclusive Agency,” and an “Open Listing” agreement. The One -Time Show and the Open Listing are similar and are often used by homeowners who wish to sell their Oro Valley real estate on their own but will agree to pay a commission to an agent who brings a qualified buyer for the home. A Oro Valley homeowner may agree to an Open Listing with several agents and also agree to a One-Time Show to any agent who has an interested buyer.
Buying a Oro Valley Fixer-Upper
Some Oro Valley investors concentrate on buying fixer-uppers, making repairs and upgrades then selling for a profit. Going with a Oro Valley fixer-upper can also be a smart way for those who are handy to buy a home in a neighborhood that they might otherwise be unaffordable. Fixer-uppers are a wonderful opportunity for those who simply love to create their space to their own specifications but for whatever reason do not want to start with a vacant lot.
Best to know the extent of the job and whether or not you are up to it before you buy. Some Oro Valley fixer-uppers simply need cosmetic work such as paint, wallpaper, carpeting and maybe kitchen appliances are fairly easy to estimate the costs for fixing. Oro Valley homes that need minor structural repairs such as roofing are also fairly easy to cost estimate.
Green Remodeling Your Oro Valley
Reduced material waste and resource conservation. When remodeling your Oro Valley, there is often a large amount of construction waste: 136 million tons of waste annually, or about 20% of the waste in landfills, according to the EPA.
If you are planning to remodel your Oro Valley anyway, going green offers money-saving advantages. In addition to increasing the value of your home, you will cut monthly operating costs, reduce waste and improve overall health.
Oro Valley APPEAL
A large part of the appeal of the real estate market in any area is the architecture or the style of the homes themselves. The appeal of Oro Valley is its appropriateness to the region in terms of style, history and weather conditions.
