Maggie Valley 2023

Quote from Frankie55

I'm still hoping but can't commit. Wife has been pushing for a complete kitchen remodel 3 years now and I'm not sure I can hold it back. Subject comes up on a weekly basis. Have a few other large purchases on the horizon. Truck tires, motorcycle tires, New DDM High flow cat exhaust if/when it comes into production and a riding lawn mower. Fun money, including above stuff comes from the stock market and I really don't have much faith in next year's performance.

Still want to and hoping.

Well, now I am confused, if we do not come out with the exhaust we get to see you at Maggie Valley, but if we do come out with the exhaust then we don't? If that's the case, we can wait and introduce the exhaust at Maggie Valley or just after if that helps you out with the wife

Quote from Frankie55

Good advice.

For what we paid for the house and the amount put into it total dollars are close to an expected selling price but still above. The house would sell quick based on the surrounding homes and at a good price. We both don't want to stay in this house once my wife retires (a year or two). Not set up for senior living. I want to sell as is but my wife is addicted to those home remodeling shows.

Talk to a couple of realators and get there thoughts. If things are not messed up don't make any changes. Save the dollars for changes in a new (to You) home.

Frankie55 I don't have advice since I haven't seen your home but I'll give you my perspective. In 20 years of flipping homes I never once did a project without doing the kitchen to modern standards. EjFord is exactly correct when considering the effect on resale value but it is difficult to know exactly how many dollars it adds to the price. What it does do without question is make your home more attractive to the buyer. Now, the homes I bought were typically foreclosure and pre-foreclosure, and the kitchens were usually not even functional. So if the remodel is not for you long-term, I would determine the attractiveness of your current kitchen to a new buyer. If there are no negatives maybe it's not necessary for resale. Most of my homes were entry level ranch homes and the way I looked at it was if someone is looking at multiple similar homes and mine had a swanky kitchen, I'd get the sale. The highest dollar return on a remodel is the kitchen but of course you know that from watching all those 'realistic' remodel shows.

The steaks are outstanding also. I always do the BBQ one night and maybe a steak for two nights every time that I am in Maggie Valley.

You are so correct, I remember he was supposed to show up the next day to ride with you, but he did not show.
