4 Upgrades That Can Increase Your Home’s Value

March 14, 2020 by Ally Leave a Comment

If you’re planning on selling your home one day, then chances are you probably want to sell it for as much as possible. One of the best ways to do that is to increase your home’s value by adding upgrades. Many home improvement projects will add a significant amount of value to your home, even in a real estate market that’s in a slump.

So what are some of the best upgrades that you can invest in for the value of your home? Take a look at some of the best upgrades that will increase your final sales price.

Make Your Home Energy Efficient

With more and more people turning their attention to the preservation of the environment, making your home energy efficient is a huge plus. In addition to being good for the earth, it’s also a great money saver.

Consider everything from adding solar panels too replacing old appliances. If you’re unfamiliar with the latest energy-efficient upgrades, consider talking to a specialist to guide you.

Add An Extra Bathroom

One of the first things that real estate agents will tell you is your home will be considerably more valuable with more than one bathroom.

Contemplate using an unused room and turning it into a bathroom. If that’s not realistic for you, then you may want to consider minimally creating a half bathroom. The cost will depend on the types of accessories that you choose from.

Save money where you can buy purchasing materials when they’re on sale. Usually, you can find great prices if you wait for the right moment.

Add A Deck

Add a deck to your backyard and watch the offers come flying in. People love decks because it makes the yard much more appealing for spending time outside. The cost of adding a deck can be a significant investment.

However, you can make your money back tenfold when you sell your home. If you’re good with DIY projects, consider building the deck yourself to save more money. Otherwise, look around for contractors and shop around for the best possible price. Choosing the wrong contractor can be stressful and expensive if you make the wrong choice.

Insulate Your Home

If your home is significantly lacking in insulation, then home inspectors will call it out immediately to prospective buyers. No one wants a boiling hot house in the summer, and a freezing cold one in the winter.

Homes that have been modified with better insulation cost much less to live in. By ceiling doors and cracks, you can save thousands a year on energy bills. People love to save money where they can, so this can be a huge plus on your home’s listing.
