Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Just as a kitchen remodel can increase home value, so can a new kitchen island. A kitchen island provides extra counter space, increased eye candy, and improved functionality that will likely impress prospective home buyers. You can expect an ROI of about 60% to 80% of the cost of your kitchen island installation, though this depends on the overall design of the fixture. 

Unless the buyer or seller makes the offer or offer acceptance contingent on the appraisal results, the sale will move forward unaffected if the appraisal comes back lower than the offer. This essentially means the buyer is paying more than what the home is worth, but without that contingency, both parties are locked into the deal. Some buyers may try to negotiate the purchase price down to the appraisal value, but this may not be possible if there wasn’t an appraisal contingency in the offer agreement.

Yes, it could be worth buying and remodeling an old house. You can potentially purchase an older house for a lower price than a newer house. With less of an upfront investment, you can devote more of your budget to the remodeling work. If you’re thinking of remodeling an old house and then reselling it—called house flipping—focus on projects that deliver the best ROI for home improvements.

In most cases, converting a wood fireplace to a gas fireplace will increase your home value because they burn cleaner, provide more warmth to your living area, and are far more convenient to use. Thanks to gas fireplace inserts that make your fireplace look like it’s full of burning logs, home buyers can still get the aesthetic appeal of a traditional fireplace plus the benefits of a gas fireplace if you make the conversion.

Yes, wood floors are among the most desirable flooring options, and most homebuyers are willing to pay more for homes with high-quality wood floors installed. Wood floors are relatively easy to repair, maintain, and clean, and buyers may pay a premium for the convenience and natural beauty of wood floors, especially if they’re new or in good condition. You can reasonably expect a return on investment of around 75% or more when you upgrade to wood floors, depending on the quality and type of wood.
