Home Renovations That Will Improve Your Home Value

If you want your home to sell for top dollar it may be worth it to do some home renovations that will improve your home value. The key thing to keep in mind when doing renovations for resale is to keep it neutral. You may want a purple kitchen but most buyers won’t. Choose neutral paint colors and amenities throughout your home to get the best resale value. That being said, here are some home renovations that will improve your home value.

  1. Kitchen Remodel

    2. A kitchen remodel will improve the value of your home if you don’t go overboard. Do a simple kitchen remodel by painting kitchen cabinets, a DIY backsplash, changing the countertops to something nice but not expensive, and updating the appliances. Your kitchen should not be fancier than the rest of your house and it should still fit in with your neighborhood.

  2. Bathroom Remodel

    3. A bathroom remodel is similar to a kitchen remodel. It can be beneficial as long as you don’t overdo it. New floors and tile and painted cabinets would be enough to update your bathroom for added home value.

  3. Fresh Paint

    4. When it comes to remodeling, paint is an inexpensive way to update your home. Over the years, the paint in your home may have chipped or isn’t as vibrant as it used to be. Invest in painting the walls in your home – don’t forget to choose neutral colors.

  4. Energy Efficient Windows

    5. In the Central Valley, it’s important to have energy efficient homes. Energy efficient windows can save homeowners up to $500 a year in heating and cooling costs. According to HGTV, you can expect to get 60%-90% back on your investment into energy efficient windows.

  5. Replace Floors

    6. If the flooring in your home is looking outdated or damaged, it may be worth it to replace it. Choose wisely when replacing the floors. It needs to be something practical that looks good but doesn’t cost a lot of money. Wood-looking tile is very popular right now, is easy maintenance, and is a fraction of the cost of hardwood floors. Carpets should probably be replaced as well, especially if they are old and animals were in the home.
