Curb Appeal
The way your house looks from the outside plays a huge role in how well it will sell, its value and desirability. There are several things you can do to improve curb appeal. Replacing the siding gives your house a fresh new look right away. Updating plants, trees and shrubs can make your home look and feel lively. Another addition to improve the curb appeal is the entryway/front door. If the front door looks nice and feels welcoming you have already made a great first impression to potential buyers.
Kitchen
Remodeling your kitchen will have a considerable effect on your home’s resale value. The kitchen is the heart of the home. Many people spend the majority of their time hanging out in the kitchen. Even a minor kitchen remodel can give the home a whole new feel. Updating the appliances to be energy-efficient, fresh paint, new hardware and new countertops are just a few ideas to get you started on your kitchen remodel.
Bathrooms
Whether it’s adding a bathroom or renovating a current bathroom this remodel will add value to your home. An extra bathroom could be a determining factor in a buyer’s mind. You can add a full, or half bathroom. Updating the floors, hardware, adding a standard toilet and shower can add significant value to your home.
Windows
New windows are a great investment if you are trying to sell your home or add value. New, quality windows can save on energy. This is a great selling point for anyone, a lower energy bill is ideal. Updated windows also add a clean look inside the home as well as more light!
Deck Addition
A wood deck is an incredible addition to your home. Having space in the backyard to host parties, lounge in the sun and enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of your own space is ideal for any buyer. There are several options when it comes to adding a wood deck. Built-in furniture can be an add-on and another key selling point. Or you can build a basic wood deck and still increase the value and welcoming feel of your home.
Garage Door
A garage door isn’t the first thing you would consider when remodeling your home, but it is a great investment. A new garage door can add to the curb appeal and is much safer than an old garage door. This can not only add value but give peace of mind to a potential buyer and will save the hassle of potential repairs down the road.
Making one or all of these changes will no doubt add to the value of your home whether you are planning on selling or just want to make thoughtful modifications to your home! Good luck in your remodeling process!
