4 Remodeling Projects That Pay Off

Whether you’re planning on listing your home for sale next month or within the next few years, it’s important to understand what you can do to make your home more appealing to potential homebuyers. That is, some upgrades can really help your home sell, and some can do just the opposite. From Realtormag, here are some upgrades that will really help your home sell.

 

1. Big Ticket Items

These items include your roof, siding, furnace, deck, windows, and even your master suite. All of these items are not cheap, but can give you a decent return on your investment.

 

2. Bathrooms

Bathrooms can look the most updated and outdated. Take some time to update the vanity, flooring, tile, mirror, light fixtures, and other fixtures in the bathroom. These small and DIY improvements can be affordable and definitely worth it.

 

3. Flooring

Wood floors have been popular for a long time now, and it’s still true today. Upgrading your flooring from vinyl to either hardwood or ceramic tile could add value to your home. This means in the foyer, living areas, kitchen, and even bedrooms and bathrooms. Now, you can purchase affordable hardwood flooring you can install yourself for a pretty reasonable price.

 

4. Kitchen

Kitchens built for function and entertainment. Open, functional kitchens sell really well these days because buyers are aware that the kitchen is an important part of the home for many reasons. If you have a small, cramped, or awkwardly set-up kitchen, it’s time to do some remodeling. Breakfast nooks and bars are a great way to integrate the kitchen with the eating area and turn it into an area that promotes conversation and unity. Additionally, stainless steel appliances are timeless and are a great way to make your kitchen look like a luxury kitchen.
