10 Ways to Boost Home Value

  1. Real, EstateLandscaping – Unkempt bushes and tangled trees can obscure views, promote mold and block the appeal of a home.
  2. Kitchen – The kitchen is still considered the centerpiece of the home. Potential buyers make a beeline for this room when they first view a home for sale so it is important to make sure your kitchen looks clean and updated.
  3. Buff up the bath – Next to the kitchen, bathrooms are important rooms to keep updated. They can be improved without a lot of cash. Even simple things like a toilet seat or a sink are easy for homeowners to install.
  4. Storage – In most cases older homes do not have as much closet space. Adding more closet space will help to bring your home up to date.
  5. Adding a room – If you have a three bedroom home with a den, the only reason it cannot be considered a bedroom is due to its lack of a closet. If you add a closet to that room you now have an extra bedroom.
  6. Light – If you have boring or recessed lights in your dining room and living areas, consider replacing one of the room’s lights with an eye catching chandelier. Home stores offer a wide array of inexpensive ceiling fixtures these days.
  7. Home Office – Millions of Americans work from home, and that number is only growing every year. This has made a home office more of a necessity than a luxury.
  8. Add a Deck – Nailing a deck onto your home is truly a bargain. Today’s homeowners crave outdoor living space and are looking for something a little more special.
  9. Painting – Painting is one of the least expensive ways to freshen and improve the look of your home. Don’t have an eye for color? Not a neat painter? Then hire a professional. Painting is an affordable home enhancement that you can spend a little to hire an interior designer to help you select colors.
  10. Energy Efficient Appliances – Replacing old appliances with energy efficient models is better for the environment and also helps to save you money because they use less energy.
