Home Improvements Increase Home Resale Value

The Mary Ellen Vanaken Team of Keller Williams Realty 678-665-2887

Home improvements increase home resale value and can energize your marketability. The two home improvement factors that can affect your resale value are location and state of the real estate market. Where your home is located can affect the value of your home improvements Some upgrades are popular only in certain area of the country. For example, depending on where you live, a swimming pool may or may not add value to your home.  And home improvements are likely to result in smaller returns in a weak real estate market than in a strong market. At the same time, specific home improvements in a weak market can help your house stand out and appeal to buyers compared to other properties in your neighborhood.

Specific home improvements that can help your house stand out and appeal to buyers are as follows:

Replacing exterior siding with fiber-cement.

Upgrade the kitchen flooring, add cherry cabinets and granite countertops.

Replace deck finishing with a high-performance, low-sheen composite.

Do an attic remodel and create an extra bedroom.

Install a new roof.

Increase energy efficiency with new windows.

Upgrade the master bath with tile and popular hardware.

Install a more stylish and energy-efficient front door for that "curb appeal."

Consider a new and stylish garage door replacement.

Are you looking to sell your home? Remember - Home improvements increase home resale value! For more tips and getting your home sold contact The Mary Ellen Vanaken Team of Keller Williams Realty 678-665-2887.

When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing.

The Mary Ellen Vanaken Team can take care of everything you need, from start to close.

Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. We can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
