Is it worth it to finish a basement before listing, if the main living area of the home is of a higher quality finish than the average home in area?
If your home is finished on the main floor in a quality that is much nicer than the average for the area (with an all new kitchen and 3/bedrooms and 2 full baths totally upgraded), should you spend even more money to finish your basement or should you leave the finishing to the next home buyer in order to keep the home more affordable?

It really depends on your strategy. You can look at it in a couple of different ways. Normally I would recommend against it since you don't always recoup all of your investment with basements. However if your home is lacking in overall living space and other homes in your market are not then it could be a good alternative. The best way to determine if it is worth finishing is to take a good look at the comparable homes in the market. You should contact a REALTOR in your area and discuss different options. Good Luck
Hi Sandesignsusa. It is best to have your Realtor do a Comparative Market Analysis for you. Do you have a Realtor, because I can help you?
