Home Improvements That Add Value

July 8, 2013

Investing in your property is worthwhile!

Having a cohesive, well-planned decor can give us pleasure and satisfaction in our homes.  A home that presents well makes us proud when friends and family come to visit. But did you know that there are many home improvements that add VALUE to your home? They are: Affixed Window Covering: This is a window treatment that is a permanent addition to the home has value. They add privacy and insulation and become a financial asset.–shutters–wood blinds–woven wood shades

Updating the exterior paint color: Sadly, this is not to say that by taking your home from Mushroom Beige to Pale Mushroom Beige will enhance the value. But let’s say you’ve moved into or live in a home that has a somewhat unfortunate color choice on the exterior. Correcting the curb appeal of this feature can instantly update your home’s perceived value. A Remodel: It goes without saying that when you upgrade any of the expensive elements of your home you will increase the value. But do you know by how much? Here are some basic percentages from Financial Highway Website: Steel Entry Door – 102% Garage Door – 84% Wood Deck – 80% Minor Kitchen Remodel – 72.8% Siding Replacement – 72.4% And the biggest bang for your buck?“…your best bet is to make general cosmetic improvements to your home. Fresh paint, adding window treatments, upgrading fixtures, and doing a deep clean for your carpet all can be a real help. Outside, keeping your landscaping neat and attractive, and even putting in garden boxes, can be relatively inexpensive ways to improve the appeal of your home. Simple, small fixes are often those that provide you with the best bang for your buck.”
