Before You Renovate, Ask One Question: Will It Improve Marketability?
“Buyers place greater value on functionality, storage, and everyday living than on highly personalized design trends.”
I was recently quoted by Giselle DaMier in House Digest’s article, Boomers Can’t Stand These Modern Bathroom Trends.
While the article focuses on bathroom design choices, the broader question for sellers is much more important:
Which improvements actually influence buyer demand and resale value?
One of the most common mistakes I see is investing in highly personalized upgrades that reflect the current owner’s taste rather than future buyers’ needs and expectations.
In today’s market, buyers consistently place value on:
• Functionality
• Storage
• Safety
• Ease of maintenance
• Move-in readiness
The most successful renovations are not always the most expensive. They improve the buyer experience, broaden market appeal, and support stronger pricing.
Through my Concierge Program, powered by Notable, I help sellers evaluate which projects are worth undertaking before listing, coordinate vendors, and develop a preparation strategy designed to maximize marketability and value.
