Help Estimate Home Reno Costs

Here's a house for sale I'm interested in, but it needs lots of updating and I've never done that.
Priorities are:
1) new carpet in 3 bedrooms
2) kitchen counters, wall paper removal, and appliances.
3) bathrooms
4) exterior paint
It's listed for about 15-20% under comps, with good reason. It's about 2600sq/ft.

I just hope you don't plan on living there while all that stuff is going on.

I mean if you do the kitchen and bathrooms nice, those alone would most likely cost at least $50k
Posted on 3/5/17 at 8:03 am to GaryMyMan
Anywhere from $40-80,000
Posted on 3/5/17 at 8:04 am to GaryMyMan
$95k - $115k

Highly dependent on finishes, appliances etc. Are you doing any the work or having it done?

I would make sure grandma didn't die in that house before you buy it

Burn that bathroom with the ceiling wallpaper with fire!

With how cramped the kitchen and bathrooms are, where the f is the 2600sf?
If I'm buying that house, I'm blowing out some walls to open it up. I'm probably changing out those aluminum windows.

Spend $1k to replace the carpet and a few bottles of Dep wallpaper remover then be done. Yes, it's not the freshest look, but it seems to be in decent condition.

Think I remember that house from that commercial when grandma fell and couldn't get up

Formal living, formal dining, and a study. Different priorities in the 1940s.

So you're blowing out some walls, right?
Posted on 3/5/17 at 8:29 am to poochie
Maybe. I haven't even seen it in person yet. Wanted to get some ideas of the undertaking before asking a contractor or architect to tag along. Hell, I can't even tell if those are 8 or 9 foot ceilings - 8 would be a deal breaker.
They're asking $105/ft. Renovated houses in the area go for $130ish. It's not my dream house, just looking for a deal.

This is my best guess not knowing what kind of countertops you want and guessing those bathrooms are a complete gut job

That's 8'. Look at the distance between the top of the doors and the ceiling.
