Thinking Real Estate
There was an open house last weekend in my condominium building. I took the opportunity to stop by and peek inside. Turns out the realtor is a neighbor in the building. So we chatted for a while.
The unit available is a junior one-bedroom, but it’s a studio like mine. The bathroom isn’t very nice, but the kitchen was much nicer than mine. The cabinets went all the way to the ceiling, which mine don’t. It had a stainless steel backsplash and some other cool features, like newer applicances. But it was interesting since while they were newer, therefore nicer, they were just low-end stuff, just very functional.
It gave me some ideas about my apartment and what I might like to do next after the bathroom. The wish list is the back wall where I have water damage, put in a wall to make a junior one-bedroom, rip out the carpet and lay down some new flooring, re-do the kitchen.
Of course, if I keep it a rental, then all I have to do is fix the wall and update the current kitchen appliances. Looking at this unit available just re-confirmed my feelings on what needs to be done to sell the place vs. what I would like to have done.
