[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you either do very little (clean, easy repairs, paint, mulch) or you renovate the whole thing. The middle ground is expensive with poor returns. But you need to ask a few agents in your neighborhood with good track records. [/quote]

I very much disagree with this. Depending on the specifics it may involve painting, certain flooring options. My elderly relatives' estate house was in good shape and some updates, but had 1950's green tub and tile - it got re-glazed white and you would never know.

This was right in the DC area, though not super-hot for teardowns in the immediate vicinity. The house itself was good and in solid shape.

I had been thinking I would like this type of update to my house myself several years into living here - though I have no intention of moving. It was an eye toward the "low hanging fruit" of a low budget and getting bang for your buck on widely-appealing renovations.[/quote]

You can definitely tell if a bathroom has been “reglazed.” If I’m looking at a house, it means I’m budgeting to redo that bathroom. [/quote]
