Is it worth fixing up a harvest gold 1970s kitchen before listing?
I have an old split-level that feels very 70s. My agent says to sell it as a project or that maybe someone will fall in love with the old look. but I see newr homes nearby going for $150k more. In this 2026 market, do buyers want homes they can customize or will people not even come to look at it because of the old feel of the listing photos?

Does adding a granny flat actually increase my home value?
Thinking about building a small ADU in the backyard to help my home's resale value. Does this actually see a 1:1 return on investment, or is it better to just leave the yard as-is? I’m seeing a lot of mixed info on appraisal values for these.

Who has responsibility of tree near my property?
Hi. I have a tree that I think needs to be trimmed before I can list my home for sale but it is on the other side of the sidewalk, is that my property? It was planted when the plan was created and the streets were poured, before my house was built. Who is responsible to pay for that tree to be trimmed?

Can I get a refund after purchase for work done?
WE bought a house and had it inspected, there were a few things but we didn't nit pick. We moved in a few months ago and started having work done. Turns out a light that we thought was just a burned out bulb was a whole electrical system completely messed up. They had open wires in the walls and things that were very not safe or up to code. They didn't tell us any of this and we didn't find it because we would have had to open walls to see. Can we go back and demand the seller pay for it? It's ridiculous!

Should I sell ? Where would I go? Should I repaint/carpet?
Husband 75 yrs. Alzheimer's. No long term care insurance. ONLY income SS. I'M 70 this year. Kidney disease. But much equity in home. Low interest HUD loan but townhouse association dues is expensive now. 26 yr old house. Needs bedrooms re- carpeting. 6k+. No neutral wall colors-Need to be large paint job. Paint job. Partial is about $10,000 minimum. More than that to get neutral colors which we don't want to live with. Our youngest adult child has epilepsy since he was a young child, and other severe diseases, and at 39 years old cannot move out, and we typically have at least one grandchild with us almost full-time. Therefore we cannot downsized any type of senior living, assisted or otherwise. We have talked with many elder care attorneys but it's time to call again and talk to us quite a few realtors and many financial planners and everybody has told us that we can't afford to live here but we can't afford to live anywhere else and we would get about half the space for far more money due to interest rates and also large moving costs. We have to make a decision now and even though we're in debt to get the carpet done because it's unmanageable and some of the paint and don't know how to proceed. No appreciable savings. Lost everything in a corporate take over years ago
