Considering making upgrades around the house? Planning to wait until it is time to sell? You deserve the benefits of a new kitchen, bathroom, patio, pool, etc. But what does that do to your market value? Here is a quick guide to help you decide if it is worth making upgrades to your home.
Search around and you’ll see all the experts agree that upgrades to your home can both improve your life and your bottom line when you sell your home. So, which home upgrades are right for you?
Upgrades for the Entertainer
If entertaining is your thing, consider kitchen renovations. This includes replacing cabinet doors, drawer fronts, refacing cabinet bases, new hardware, new countertops, sink and state-of-the-art faucets. Your paycheck on the back end during the sale of the home could be as high as 59%.
Upgrades for Visitors
Have in-laws or friends who visit often? Let’s double dip on that attic space. Attic insulation can result in a lofty 107% return on making the space more efficient. Turn some of that empty space into a welcoming bedroom for guests. Experts say the same space as a den, office or recreational area isn’t as much of an inviting prospect, but it really is all about staging the room when it’s time to sell.
Upgrades for You and Your Guests
Have that bathroom that makes you cringe with embarrassment each time a guest has to use it? Go ahead and replace that well-worn tub, the tile with years of grime, and throw in a shiny new sink and natural stone counters. You’ll be jumping with joy, showing off your updated bathroom, and shouting, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?” while gaining back 56 to 70%.
