20 ways to "alter" your Sarasota Home value

I read an article today on Yahoo, and I thought it may interest you. It lists ten ways to add value, and 10 ways to detract value for your home. Keep in mind this is a national article, so the "pool" listed as a detractor is not reality here in Sarasota!

1. An updated kitchen
2. Modern bathrooms
3. A well-appointed master suite
4. Natural materials
5. Curb appeal
6. A light, airy spacious feel
7. Good windows
8. Landscaping
9. Lots of storage
10. Basement


Decrease home's value
1. A pool
2. No garage or small garage
3. Garbled floor plan
4. Outmoded appliances or systems
5. Stale or overly personal decor
6. A bad roof
7. Bad location
8. Poor maintenance
