Based on information from a recent report, just about 50 percent of home renovations were done to get Gig Harbor homes ready for sale. The majority of work is being done before the property hits the market.
Most of the work includes replacing floors, with either hardwood, ceramic, or quarry tile. Painting makes up 22 percent of the work completed and is a relatively economical way to touch up an area. At around 9 percent each are electrical work, landscaping, or other exterior repairs.
The central purpose for this work is to increase the value of a house and to make it more modern. As the market begins to slow down, houses are remaining on the market for a longer amount of time. To ensure their houses sell quickly, sellers will do all they can now.
