Ask HAI or Narges before committing to a major project before selling — the math doesn't always favour renovating.
Calculate the renovation's likely ROI first
Compare the project's expected cost against its typical resale return (see each renovation category's own ROI figures) before deciding it's worth doing.
Factor in your timeline, not just the dollar math
A renovation adds real time before you can list — if you need to sell quickly, a price adjustment reflecting the home's current condition may be the faster, more certain path.
Consider whether the issue is cosmetic or structural
A cosmetic issue (dated paint, worn carpet) is often cheaper to simply price around than to fix; a structural or functional issue (a failing roof, an outdated electrical panel) may need to be addressed regardless of which path you choose.

The right call depends on your home, your timeline, and your local market — ask Narges or HAI for a read on your specific situation rather than applying a general rule.
