[quote=Anonymous]We tried but failed to sell our house last year because of the market tanking and are now landlords. If the market stays bad, we’ll keep renting it out. But if it turns around, we’d rather sell. I’m looking for advice on what project to do to make the house more attractive, and curious if the answer depends on whether we try to sell it or rent it.

It’s a classic 3 bed rowhouse that has not been flipped. We intended to do a big reno but then found that was more expensive than moving. We put in new kitchen appliances but the cabinets and counter are old (functional but will need replacing at some point). There’s a full bath upstairs and a gardener’s toilet in the basement. We could put in a second bath en-suite with the primary as there’s space.

Feedback from both prospective buyers and tenants was many wanted an updated kitchen and/or second bath. The listing description, photos, and price were all clear that the house had neither.

The bathroom would cost about double the kitchen cabinets and counters. We can’t do both. To be more marketable in the future I’m thinking we should do one. Thoughts?
