Take the Quiz: Invest in your existing home, or start fresh?

Homes provide us with a place of comfort, but what happens when our home isn’t quite the right fit for our unique circumstances any longer? 

At 5pm at the South Berwick Public Library on Wednesday, February 8th homeowners can take a quiz to find out if they should invest or start fresh and then learn more about what to expect in each scenario.

If you’re feeling like your home isn’t quite the right fit anymore – what can you do? Should you invest…or start fresh?

People change, it is possible for our homes to change with us, but sometimes altering our existing home is just not feasible.

Oftentimes there are two scenarios that homeowners struggle with:

1. When a family is growing and needs more living space
2. When homeowners are thinking about if or how their home works for them when kids are getting ready to leave the house. 

There are three common ways to invest in remodeling and renovating to reach a solution for each scenario. 

1. Finishing a basement
2. Finishing space above the garage
3. Adding an addition to the home

If you feel that investing in a remodel project would help you fall back in love with your home, Len Bogh and Melanie Merz of Great Northern Builders will present information specific to each of these project types and discuss return on investment guidance.  

If investing in a remodeling project is not feasible for your existing home and you’d rather start fresh, Tanya Cattabriga of The Birches Group at Keller Williams Coastal and Lakes & Mountains Realty will present the most up to date market information and share the best first steps to take if it’s time to list your home.
