This is most certainly not a sellers market. I’m advising people to stay put if they can and wait for the real estate market to recover. It could be one year, it could be three years but it WILL return. When you consider the three basic needs for survival - food, clothing, and shelter - (shelter = housing), you know that real estate will eventually bounce back.

But you may be in your house for some time before you’re ready to sell. If this is the case, remodeling may be an option to consider to make yourself more comfortable. Realtor magazine just published an article featuring thrifty solutions for an outdated kitchen.

Add space and light be removing a wall.
Don’t move the plumbing.
Unclutter the countertops with special hardware.
Buy ready-to-assemble cabinets.
Consider a variety of countertop materials.

Read the entire article here for more details about these savings.

If you want to know what NOT to do, visit the Bad Remodel site. Although it hasn’t been updated in some time it remains quite entertaining!
