Short Answer
Valuing a Keys home before renovating requires understanding the after-repair value (ARV) based on comparable sales of renovated properties in your immediate area. Key value-add renovations in the Keys include impact windows and doors, kitchen updates, seawall repairs, and dock improvements. Avoid over-improving beyond what the neighborhood supports.

Steve's Advice

With my contractor's license and home inspector background, I look at renovation potential differently than most agents. The smartest renovations in the Keys are impact windows and doors -- they improve insurance rates, energy efficiency, and storm protection. A new seawall or dock can add as much value as a kitchen remodel in a waterfront property. I run the numbers before my clients spend a dollar so they know exactly what return to expect.
