Let’s Talk About Home Updates!
Are you thinking about selling your home within the next couple of years and want to do some improvements to help the resale value? No need to break the bank- small improvements are your way to go! Making a few cosmetic changes will make a massive difference. When in doubt on what changes to make, ask your realtor for tips. Here are a few updates you can do with a high ROI to help boost your property’s value.
Freshen up your landscaping.
There is no doubt that nice landscaping can make a huge difference in the way your home appears on the outside. Adding color near the front of the house, plants with different heights, and fresh mulch or rock can help draw potential homebuyers in.
Minor kitchen remodel.
No need to take it down to the studs here. Painting the cabinets, updating the countertops, and adding recessed lighting will help update your kitchen without completely breaking the bank. Kitchens are the heart of the home, so you’ll want to make sure this room shows well.
Change up the exterior.
If your siding is older or has damage, replacing it might be your best bet. Adding a fresh coat of paint in a neutral color to dated brick or siding that is still in good shape will make your home more appealing. Don’t forget the exterior lighting! Changing out any dated light fixtures is a small change that can make a big difference. Add a fun paint color to your door and replace the hardware for a real wow factor!
Refresh your hardwood floors and carpet.
Simply getting your carpets professionally cleaned or restaining your hardwood floors will add a little bump up in your home’s value. This improvement is highly dependent on your home’s value, though. Be sure oto consult with your agent on this one!
Add a neutral color palette.
As much as we love lime green walls with hot pink polka dots, not everyone shares the same view. Neutralize your home’s paint colors to a cool brown/gray. This will make a big difference- especially in photos.
Touch up the bathroom.
While knocking out walls sounds fun, you may want to wait on making such a big improvement. Simply repainting your cabinets, changing the hardware and fixtures, and reglazing the tub will help modernize the space.
Let’s recap.
Picking a few of the items above can add value to your home and help increase the resale price. Be sure to take into consideration the initial value of your home when making improvements for the highest return on investment. Happy updating!
