Today, we want to share some improvements you can make to your home that will get you your money back!
The top three areas to focus on to get a good return on your investment are the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. If you plan on making improvements now, before selling in 5-10 years, you need to establish a budget. A good rule to abide by is to avoid spending more than 10% of the value of your home on your kitchen.
If you're in a $500,000 home and you plan to spend $50,000, it probably won't be enough to gut the entire kitchen and put in a new one. However, you can get the biggest bang for your buck by refinishing or replacing cabinet doors! If you don't have granite countertops, we highly recommend having them installed. If you don't want to go with granite, just ensure it's a solid surface countertop!
Paint colors are also very important. If you're going to sell the home, you want to have neutral tones throughout the house. Colors that appeal to the widest range of people are your safest bet. Even with backsplashes, you want to be a bit conservative. Don't do anything over the top and you should be fine!
Trends are always changing and can be hard to follow. The best way to know what's hot at any given moment is to call a professional who has experience in home improvements! If you have any questions about adding value to your home, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're always here to help you!
