COST = VALUE

👉 Sometimes my customers have a misconception that cost is equivalent to value.

👉 They may say “I have spent $50,000 on new carpet, so that has increased the market value of my home by $50,000.” 🤑

❌ Unfortunately, this is not necessarily the case, because market value is not determined by cost, but what a willing buyer will pay. 💲💲

👉 In a worst-case scenario, a particular buyer may prefer wooden floors over carpet which would mean the carpet is perceived as a cost to remove. The vendor has then spent $50,000 unnecessarily. 😬

👏 Moral of the story - be careful when improving your property 🏠 as you don’t want to over capitalise or spend money when you don’t need to. 🙅‍♀️😉
