This week we are looking at remodels to help sell your home as well as local art news and fun. When you place your home on the market the hope is that it will sell quickly as the longer a home is on the market the greater chance the price will go down. This week we are sharing 3 Renovations That Can Help You Sell Your Home Faster to help make sure your remodeling budget has the biggest payoff.

Kitchen - A dated kitchen is one of the biggest turnoffs for potential homebuyers. A kitchen that's been renovated using quality materials often draws people in and causes them to overlook other potential flaws. Quality finishes in the kitchen are crucial, as many buyers at all price points are looking for granite countertops (or something similar) and tile backsplashes. The cabinets should also be of decent quality and a neutral color that appeals to a wide range of people.

Roof- Since a roof is rarely seen except when you're coming and going, it might not seem like the best place to spend your renovation dollars; however, if you can state on your home's listing that the roof was recently replaced, you may gain more interest, potentially helping you to sell your home more quickly. Also, make sure that the color of the shingles matches the character of the home so buyers aren't turned off the moment they approach your house.

Bathroom - Moving back inside, a bathroom renovation is a great way to maximize the effectiveness of your remodeling budget. Adding unique features such as a tile tub surround or a designer light fixture that'll help your home stand out from others in your area. Again, quality installation is important here, as you don't want to put the future homeowners at risk of a major water leak.

Local Art - Now through October 11th the public can vote for Park City in the World Wildlife Fund’s We Love Cities challenge to celebrate Park City's Leadership in sustainability and climate action.
