Whether you’re buying or selling a home, there are certain features that add value. Knowing what they are can help no matter which side of the negotiation table you’re sitting on. You may be aware of some of these already, but just in case here they are:
10 That Increase a Home’s Value
- An updated kitchen – Solid surface countertops, gleaming stainless appliances, sleek cabinetry, lots of space to prepare food, do homework, and socialize. These are key in today’s modern kitchen.
- Modern bathrooms – Whirlpool tubs, separate showers and baths, water closets, and double sinks are all popular options that give the bathroom more appeal.
- A Master suite – A bedroom isn’t always enough. An enclave to call you own, complete with walk-in-closet, private bath, and even possibly, a sitting area. Not possible? Think about arranging furniture to give the room more definite boundries that distinguish a reading area from a sleeping area.
- Natural flooring materials – Bamboo, wood, and stone can be more appealing than manmade materials such as linoleum.
- Curb appeal – First impressions mean everything. A tidy lawn, clean windows, well-lighted pathways all make a home seem lovingly cared for.
- Light and airy – People like space and light. Taking the clutter out of a room, painting it a neutral shade, and keeping window treatments open can all make a difference.
- Energy efficiency- The type and age of windows, doors, and insulation can all contribute to the pricing of a home.
- Landscaping – Mature trees and plantings make a home look beautiful.
- Storage space – Storage is important both in the home and in the garage or shed. This includes closets, pantries, loft space.
- Basement – A clean, dry basement whether it is finished or unfinished, to be used as living space or storage space.
