4 improvements to make to increase your homes value!

Are you ready to make the most out of your home?

Whether it be to bring your own design dreams to life or you are preparing your home for market, as an interior design team and a Realtor I have years of experience in making homes look their best! 

Sometimes it can feel daunting figuring out where to start with your home. Here are four actionable tips that can significantly boost your home's value:

1. Look to Kitchen and Bathroom Upgrades for Maximum ROI: Focus your attention (and money!) on upgrading the kitchen and bathroom as these spaces deliver the highest return on investment (ROI) for most homes. Buyers appreciate modern, updated spaces, but remember to strike the right balance. Avoid overly customized renovations or taking improvements too far where you won’t see that return.

2. Make Upgrades to Save Buyers Money: Consider putting on a new roof, upgrading insulation, and investing in energy-efficient appliances and HVAC systems. These features not only attract buyers with tight budgets but also demonstrate potential savings on large immediate costs!

3. Improve Curb Appeal to Make a Lasting First Impression: Curb appeal can make or break a buyer’s showing experience if it leaves a bad first impression. Take a careful look at your home's exterior to see if any upgrades need to be done, paying special attention to the entryway and “face” of the house. A welcoming first impression sets the tone for the entire viewing experience and can significantly impact a buyer's perception of your property. In the warmer months, maintain the lawn, mulch the garden beds, keep the property clean. In the colder months, make sure buyers have a clear and safe path to the doors.

4. Create a Blank Canvas: When you’re getting ready to put your home on the market, take the time to declutter and depersonalize your space. Creating a clean and neutral canvas will help buyers envision their future in your home. It’s also worth considering enlisting a professional stager to highlight your home's potential and make a lasting impression on potential buyers.
