Every homeowner would like to invest in and increase the value of their home, but knowing which renovations will provide the best returns when you choose to sell can be tough. Here are a few tips to help you pinpoint some of the more valuable ways to upgrade your living spaces:
Curb Appeal
When buying a home, most people make a positive or negative decision within the first moments of viewing a home. The impression that a property gives off from the outside and the front entryway may mean the difference between a successful sale – or not. Buyers look for clean, low maintenance landscaping (or a perfectly tended complicated landscape) and attention grabbing features near the front door.
Create a Feeling of Space
The structured, partitioned rooms of yesteryear have given way to light-filled open floor plans. To give your home an open, spacious feel, knock down walls between living areas to create a casual family space. Flood rooms with light, both natural and artificial, to add cheer and make your home more inviting.
Kitchen and Bathroom
These two rooms are the best investments in a home and are among the first upgrades investigated by a homeowner. Upgrading floor material and shower tiles can completely transform a room.
Roof
There is a good reason that many real estate ads mention when the roof was last replaced. A high quality roof can add green appeal and save owners on monthly hydro bills as well as protecting you home from property damage. Metal roofing benefits are both functional and aesthetic and offer a great way to invest in your home while ensuring a better sale price.
Focus on Faults
Look over your home with a critical eye and asses those areas with the most to gain from an upgrade. Outdated areas and neglected repairs will be a sticky spot with buyers and offer a great opportunity to invest in your home. Unfinished spaces and basements are ways to add desirable rooms and square footage without the high cost of additions.
