3 Ways to Increase the Value of Your Home

Whether you’re selling your home now, or in the future, real estate agents agree that there are three ways that you can increase the value of your home, and protect your investment. Investing a few thousand dollars in your home today can really pay off in the future.

Beautify the Bath

One area that most homeowners tend to overlook is also one of the most critical, the bath. Forty-two percent of real estate agents said that the bath was second only to the kitchen in determining the sale of a home.

Fresh paint, new fixtures, and replacing the toilet are just a few simple fixes that can really brighten up the bath.

Outdated sinks, showers, vanities, and flooring can be a liability when selling your home. The bath is one of the smallest and cheapest rooms to remodel and can make a huge difference in whether or not your home sells.

The Kitchen is King

Fifty-three percent of real estate agents surveyed agreed that the kitchen is the room that either makes or breaks the deal. Start out by making minor repairs and cosmetic changes. Switch out the faucet in the kitchen sink, replace old appliances with sleek, energy efficient ones. Give the walls a fresh coat of paint. You want the kitchen to be warm and inviting, but clean functional at the same time.

Updating flooring, cabinets, and countertops can spruce up your kitchen. Replacing old light fixtures, and adding modern, energy efficient lighting can make the room seem larger, and highlight unique details.

Enhancing the Exterior

First impressions are everything, especially in real estate. Basic landscaping and home repairs are a great place to start sprucing up your home’s exterior. Get rid of that old patio set, and weathered yard ornaments.

Replacing the roof is a small investment that pays big when it comes time to sell. Easy to care for siding appeals to busy home buyers, as well as adding value to your home.

Adding outdoor living space for entertaining, or relaxing on the weekends gives your home the winning edge you need to make a sale, not to mention adding to the enjoyment of your home while you live there.

Consider adding unique detail such as a covered porch to give your home added personality. Don’t forget to replace or spruce up your garage or shed. Old, dilapidated garages can be a real eyesore.
