If you’ve been watching a lot of HGTV, you may be in the mood to make changes. Is it time to remodel? Or is it time to sell?
Just like anything that gets a lot of use, homes show wear and tear after a few years. Certain color schemes and decorative styles begin to look outdated. And there are some improvements that you may have put off as a new homeowner that you can afford to do now.
Some market conditions are in your favor — interest rates are still extremely low and below where they were a year ago and the economy is improving, so you’ll likely get much of what you spend to improve your home back when it comes time to sell.
The question to answer is this: If you improved your home the way you want, would you want to stay in it for a few more years, or are you ready for a complete change?
