About Market Ready Upgrades

Distinguish your home from the sea of others on market.

Increased Sale Price
Homeowners in Tampa Bay can expect a notable increase in the sale price of their homes after making comprehensive market-ready upgrades. On average, these upgrades can add between 10% to 20% to the home's value. For instance, if the median home price in Tampa is around $400,000, homeowners could see an increase of $40,000 to $80,000 in the sale price​ (Home Buying Institute)​​ (Norada Real Estate Investments)​. Specific high-return upgrades like kitchen and bathroom remodels, fresh paint, and landscaping can significantly boost the home's appeal and value.
Faster Sales
Homes with market-ready upgrades tend to sell faster. The average time on market for homes in Tampa without upgrades is around 40 to 60 days. However, homes that are well-prepared and staged can sell in as little as 30 days or even less​ (Redfin)​​ (Realtor)​. These improvements make the home more attractive to buyers, reducing the time it stays on the market.

Investing in specific home upgrades can significantly enhance the speed of sale and the final sale price of a home in the Tampa Bay market. Here are the top upgrades and their impacts:

  1. Adding Bedrooms

    • Value Increase: Adding a second or third bedroom can increase a home’s value by about 6.2%, translating to an estimated $20,000 increase in resale value for a median-priced home.
    • Market Appeal: More bedrooms increase the home's appeal to families and buyers needing extra space, helping the property sell faster.
  2. Updating Kitchens

    • Value Increase: A full kitchen remodel can increase home value by about 4.8%, adding approximately $15,000 to the resale value.
    • ROI and Market Speed: Kitchens are a major selling point; even minor updates (like new fixtures, lighting, and countertops) can offer a high return on investment and attract more buyers quickly.
  3. Bathroom Remodels

    • Value Increase: A full bathroom remodel can add about 3.7% to the home's value, roughly $11,000 in resale value.
    • Buyer Attraction: Updated bathrooms are highly attractive to buyers, often leading to quicker sales. Simple upgrades like new flooring, modern fixtures, and fresh paint can make a big difference.
  4. Updating Kitchens

    • Value Increase: Replacing an old roof can significantly enhance curb appeal and reassure buyers about the property's condition, potentially increasing the home’s value by several thousand dollars, along with lower insurance premiums for prospective buyers.
    • Buyer Confidence: A new roof is a critical factor for buyers concerned about long-term maintenance and repairs, leading to quicker sales.
  5. Add a Garage

    • Increased Home Value: A new garage can add between $20,000 to $35,000 to the home’s value, with an ROI of 64% to 81%​ (Curbio)​​ (Uplift Garage)​.
    • Enhanced Market Appeal: Garages provide practical benefits like secure parking, storage, and potential workspace, making homes more attractive to buyers.
    • Improved Curb Appeal: A well-designed garage can significantly enhance the overall look of the property, contributing to better first impressions.
    • Added Functionality: Garages offer versatile spaces that can be used for storage, workshops, or additional living areas, catering to a variety of buyer needs.
