TOP 10 Ways to Add Value to Your Home

10. More Space- More Light

Dark and dungy are no good.  Light opens the area and gives the illusion of a larger space!

9. Adding a Home Office

Millions of Americans work from home and its increasing every year. This has become more of a necessity than a luxury.

8. Curb Appeal

A good first impression can add 5 to 10% to the value of your home. You want it to be welcoming.

7. Add a Sunroom or Upscale Patio

Not only would it add square footage to the home, it’s typically half the price of adding an extra standard room.

6. Add a Deck

According to Remodeling Magazine more than 85% of your cost of putting in a wooden deck can be recouped on a resale. Adding a built-in fire pit and raised benches enhance it even more.

5. Paint

A coat of paint can do wonders to brighten up any area of the home. People crave color!

4. Landscaping

It’s not all about just greenery, it includes lighting, fences, rock features, paths and ponds and more. Spice up your area around the outside of the house and add significant value.

3. Remodel Your Basement

Basements are an open area and can be turned in to almost anything; play rooms, bar room, extra guest rooms or even a whole place of storage- you can never have too much of that!

2. Bathrooms

Adding or updating a bathroom adds a huge increase in value. The average bathroom remodel can get you back the majority of your investment.

1. Kitchen-

An updated kitchen, if done correctly, can give you an almost 100 percent return on your investment. This is by far the heart of the house so give it a lot of attention.
