Upgrades on Home Improvements That Could Return Their Value
Even if you’re not looking to sell right now, you might be looking to increase the value of your home by incorporating some upgrades. Not all updates or renovations will offer a good return on your initial investment, but some might bring back almost what you put into them when you do go to sell. At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we have some ideas of upgrades you could consider. Check out the ideas below!
Paying for an Update
Like we mentioned, some updates will recoup a good portion of the initial outlay while others might not. If your option make sense financially, you still need to figure out a way to pay for the initial goods and/or services, and some options might be pretty pricey. Be sure to speak to a professional financial advisor to determine ways to pay for your renovation and whether it makes sense for your pocketbook or if you should hold off. Then carefully consider each of these options (or others you might want) to determine if it makes sense in your situation.
- Exterior “Facelift.” Updating to new external siding (like vinyl or fiber-cement) or manufactured stone (especially in an entryway) or hanging a new garage door can enhance the exterior look of your home and make it more appealing to buyers and neighbors alike.
- Kitchen Renovation. The most used room in most homes, the kitchen can attract or deter a potential buyer. Updating appliances and countertops, refacing cabinets, changing out the flooring, and repainting the walls can give your kitchen a more modern feel, which might even encourage a potential buyer to increase their bid.
- Window Fashions. Updated window fashions can improve a home in a number of ways. Shutters or wood/faux wood blinds such as Hunter Douglas Heritance® Hardwood Shutters, NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters, and Parkland® Wood Blinds might actually increase the value of a home. New window treatments can add to the curb appeal of your home by giving it a consistent look from the outside. Window fashions like Duette® Honeycomb Shades or Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades can play an important role in making your home more energy-efficient. Finally, even if they don’t contribute directly to increasing a home’s value, new window treatments can help make a space more elegant, inviting, decadent, and luxurious, which could give your home an overall increased perceived value from a potential buyer.
