When we bought we weren't given a lot of information. Now that we want to sell it seems like everyone wants to know. We know it's older. Are there public records or something?
We're planning to finish our basement and I'm wondering if we should add a second laundry room. Will that add value to our house?

We want to sell our condo in the spring. Our kitchen is older and has forest-green linoleum countertops. We want to do some updates to make the kitchen more attractive, but we only have $2K to spend (and we'd like to spend less if possible). What updates do you recommend where we don't spend a lot, but it has a big impact on the look of the kitchen?
We'd really like to get an in-ground pool, ideally with an outdoor kitchen too. We live in Wisconsin, so we could only get use out of it for part of the year. Does the pool add value to our home? Or do people see it as something else to care for and that would turn them away from the house?
Do i need one if i live on a hill? Is it only certain areas that need them?

We're thinking of selling our condo. There are some things that are outdated or that could be updated. We don't want to waste our money on things that don't matter, but also want our condo to sell for the best possible price. So, what updates are worthwhile?
My house was built in 1934 but someone replaced all the the interior doors with hollow ones, not solid wood. It seems weird in this historic house. Is it worth my money to replace them all before selling? - Rick
