As most folks plan to remain in their current home until the real estate market improves, they will want to continue to improve their home for their own enjoyment and financial return. What home improvements are worth your time, energy and money today that will be in demand by buyers tomorrow?
Kitchen The heart of a home and the room that weighs heaviest in a buyer’s purchase decision, every dollar you put in to your kitchen will come back to you and then some – at minimum, you can expect a 100% return.
Baths Just like the kitchen, baths are the strongest selling features of a home and an updated, contemporary bath will stand out in the mind of buyers. Over the top finishes and fixtures are not necessary – simple and classic never go out of style.
Hardwood Floors With a warm look and feel, hardwood floors are a stand out for buyers and are likely to be the deciding factor in their purchase decision.
Master Suite A master bedroom with an attached private bath has become standard issue for many buyers and many would not consider a home with it.
Storage Convenient, clean and accessible storage (no dark attics or dusty basements) is a premium buyers will pay for. Sneak in additional storage on the wall space above the washer/dryer; a kitchen pantry or lazy susan; a medicine cabinet; bedroom closet organizational systems.
Curb Appeal A neat, tidy and cared for exterior will stand out from the pack for any buyer. Homes with strong curb appeal will get the most showings, so every dollar invested will serve you well.
In-Law Suite A return to multi-generational households is becoming more prevalent in mainstream American culture. Living with family is option many older Americans enjoy in their healthy and strong golden years.
