Hello World! Welcome Friends! Our homes are often the biggest financial investment we make in our lifetimes. Your financial future will be closely tied to the value of your property and can greatly influence to quality and length of your retirement.
If you are planning on selling your family home soon there are a number of home improvements, you can make that will act as an investment in your future. By making these simple changes to your home you can increase the property value while making your home more desirable to potential buyers.
Here are the five home improvements and additions that add the most property value to a home so that you can make some extra investments in your future and make a quick and easy sale when the time comes.
Repair Or Replace Broken Driveways and Paths
The exterior of a property is very important. For property buyers, the first impression they get of a home are the pictures they see online or in your real estate agent’s brochure. If you have untidy, damaged, or potholed asphalt or concrete on your drives and paths, you are hurting your chances of a quick sale.
Enterprise Commercial Paving is a concrete repairs company that specializes in repairing and resurfacing the driveways and paths of homes, as well as commercial and industrial properties. It takes an incredible amount of skill and experience to lay smooth concrete, and EPC has decades of experience needed to leave you with a high-quality, premium finish.
Add An Extension or Garage to Your Home
One of the highest value home improvements comes from adding some extra square feet to your home. There is no better way to increase your property value and make your home more desirable to potential buyers.
Smart extensions to homes can add a bigger kitchen or a second bathroom, which are two of the most popular features for any home to have. Garages can also be useful, adding much-needed storage space to a family home.
They can be an expensive addition, but they can give you an amazing return on your investment. This helps them to pay for themselves in the long-term as well as increase your equity in your property which can help you to finance the purchase of your next home.
Renovate and Landscape Your Front and Back Gardens
Space is important to families. Homes with a large rear garden, or space at the front for children to play, always sell quickly if the yards are in good condition.
Landscaping your yards and adding some extra color and texture with flowers and plants helps to make you home more desirable. Not only does it draw property buyers to your home for a viewing, but it can also add a little to the value of your home.
Do not expect massive returns from landscaping your yard. Spending a few hundred dollars can only be worth an extra thousand or so to your asking price. It is easy to do the work yourself but working with a professional team gives the best results and has the biggest impact.
Bring the Inside to the Outdoors
A clever way to add to the usable square feet of your property is to add wood decking or patio space to the exterior of your home. This can be used for al-fresco dining and entertaining guests.
Outdoor dining is incredibly popular and a home that takes advantage of this trend usually sells quickly. The cost of the work is relatively low too, making them a smart home improvement to sellers looking to pump up their sale price before going on the market.
The patio or decking space can be more than just a dining and entertaining area too. Outdoor kitchens or barbecuing areas are the hot new trend. This gives people somewhere in the garden space to cook food as well as eat it and is perfect for summer days and nights spent at home with the family.
Clear the Clutter
This home improvement costs nothing and can have a massive effect on the time it takes to sell your home and even its valuation.
Clearing the clutter from a home makes it look more spacious and welcoming and helps any potential buyers to project their lives into the space and decide what will fit in where. This improvement costs nothing but could be the difference between making a sale or having a home that is stuck on the market with little to no interest from buyers.
With just one or two of these smart home improvements, you can have a big impact on your property value. The biggest benefit comes from making a quick sale.
The more time it takes to sell a home, the more money it will cost which negatively impacts your return on investment. You owe it to your future self to do everything you can to add value to your home and make a quick sale.
