A full remodel of kitchens and baths can be expensive, and you rarely recoup 100% of the cost. There are better options , here are some items to consider as a wise and inexpensive investment Paint cabinets, update hardware, Replace outdated light fixtures , New mirrors, faucets, or vanities in bathrooms, Reglaze tubs instead of replacing , neutral paint and better lighting. These are quick & easy and will spruce up a tired look . Consult an experienced Realtor first as we have quality venders to do the work for you and would advise on what to and what not to do.

Martha , Lets keep it simple , can you afford to step up and pay a higher mortgage payment, have a Realtor give you an estimated value and speak to a lender . Once you have an estimate of the added expense and your told you qualify , only you can decide if its worth it .

Are your panels leased or owned ? Assuming its a lease the buyer should be able to take over the lease . Check your lease agreement .

The better your home shows , the more money in your pocket , you are going to have to get rid of the clutter to move , what not do some of it before you sell your home to optimize your sale price . Painting a room is quick and short money . If you dont care about your profit then sell as is . However , Realtors always have a good painter that they can recommend .
