You’re considering renovating your home but are concerned whether or not your investment will pay off when you sell. Though you can never be sure exactly how much of your investment you will get back, kitchens and bathrooms remain the highest in return on your investment. In hot housing markets, the return can often be greater than 100 percent.
Here are some more tips from Tembo for your home improvements:
- Do not waste your money improving your bathroom if you only have one. Instead, use that money to build a second bathroom. Adding another bathroom has the potential of increasing the sale value of your home more than adding another bedroom.
- Maintenance is your number one priority. The forty thousand dollars you put into your brand new kitchen is worth nothing is there’s water in the basement. If there are maintenance issues, it is important to resolve them first before investing in the luxuries.
- Consider the exterior of the house as well. It doesn’t matter how much you spent or how luxurious the interior of the house is, if the exterior is unappealing, you’ll never get anyone inside.
- Make more room. Look at building an addition, according to the National Association of Realtors, every 1,000 square feet added ups the sale price of a home by 30 percent.
