The Top 5 Ways to Add Value to Your Home

If you’re looking for ways to increase the value of your home and know that your money is being well spent, well you’ve come to the right place. Adding value to a home isn’t about spending a ton of money, it’s about spending in the right places. It’s about spending effectively and wisely. When you’re working on adding value to a home, it’s important to make sure that you’re spending smart.

According to TLC there are five main areas you should focus on.

1. Kitchen – Your kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s the central hub. And for most families, the kitchen is the place they spend the most time together. Your kitchen should be warm and inviting and it should feature products other home buyers want such as granite or stainless steal. A well-planned kitchen remodel can give you anywhere from 80-100% ROI when selling a home and can be the reason your home is chosen to begin with.

2. Bathrooms – Bathrooms are considered to be sanctuaries in homes. More often than not, home owners tend to forget about their bathrooms only remember, but it’s not a room you want to leave out. By adding an additional bathroom to your home, or upgrading current bathrooms you’re sure to see a ROI of at least 80 to 90%.

3. Curb Appeal - Many people neglect the front of their home, thinking the interior features will do the work for them. But didn’t momma always say that you only have one chance to make a first impression? The front of your house is the first thing buyers will see and needs to stand out.

4. Home Office – With more and more companies looking to reduce costs and more Americans looking for ways to save money and be more green, working from home has become the norm. This being said, it is important to provide the buyer with a space to work. By creating a in-home office you’re providing home buyers with an easy-to-visualize space as well as providing yourself with a tax-deductible space.

5. More Light and Space – Dark cramped spaces are rarely conducive to a good mood no matter where you are and this same theory applies when it comes to your home. By creating open and inviting rooms you’re sure to increase the value of your home. If you can’t afford to widen doorways or add windows, making sure the furniture is the right size for your room is a perfect way to ensure that your space feels more open and airy.
