It’s a standing joke amongst my husband and I that his Town House was his wedding gift to me. He gave me the keys and the landlord responsibilities the minute he found the opportunity. We’ve been renting this 2 bedroom, 1 bath end unit with a double garage for a few years now and recently come to terms with it’s value and we are ready to rip the band-aid off and move on.
It was a quick decision and with spring apon us and the tax credit nearing it’s end I wanted to get it on the market before the following weekend with a budget of $2000. It’s amazing how much you can do with $2000 when getting your home ready for the market.
It’s always difficult as a home owner to know if they will see that investment back, it’s important to consider why you would make the changes. In my case this unit will sit empty on the market until I find a buyer so I want my unit to be the most attractive unit. I want it to be the next unit sold in the complex, not the 8th.
The unit was built in the nineties and my husband, bachelor at the time had zero interest in making updates?!?! Since this wasn’t my first rodeo I new exactly where to spend my dollars to get the most bang.
Budget and Before and Afters as follows:
$200: 8 gallons of paint (entire unit)
$340: New light fixtures out with the gold in with the silver


$1300 New Carpet through out.
$120 Misc. Home Depot/Supplies


I wanted my budget to have room to do something “special” or something that would make our unit stand out from the others. With $300 I was able to install a beautiful modern back splash in the kitchen tying everything together.

These changes have made our unit much more appealing to the market and turn key for the first time home buyer.
Total Cost: $1970
