Increasing the value of your home is what most people think about, especially when they are getting close to selling it. Everyone wants to make sure that they can get the most out of their house when selling, but many don’t know how to increase its value. Continue reading to find out the best tips on how you can increase the value of your home.
Make It Attractive
The first way to make your home have more value is to make it more attractive. Start with the outside, as having curb appeal is important. First impressions are everything so by having good curb appeal, it will attract more people to your house, making it worth more. There are several ways to do this, including painting your front door, pressure washing your entrance area, adding a porch or just keeping the lawn and landscaping well maintained.
Once the exterior looks good, it is time to focus on the kitchen and bathrooms. If these two rooms are outdated, it will make your home value less than if they were more modern. How much you spend for renovating these rooms is up to you, but simple updates to the cabinets, countertops and floors are what matters the most. For example, add new hardware to the cabinets to give a fresh look.
Be More Efficient
Having energy-efficient gadgets in your home can make the value of your place jump in price depending on where you live in the country. You can make small changes such as installing double-panned windows, LED lighting and efficient appliances to make your home more efficient, or you can go big and add solar panels to your house which can pay for themselves in a short amount of time. Banterra offers solar loans and solar panels will only increase the value of your home.
Add Square Footage
Square footage greatly impacts the value of your house. There are multiple ways to increase the square footage of your home, such as converting attic area to living space, adding a sun porch or adding another house addition.
Become A Smart Home
Smart gadgets such as thermostats, fire detectors, door locks and security cameras are at the top of the list when it comes to smart technologies that most people want in a house. Although these smart tools don’t increase the value of your home greatly, it adds appeal and those who really want them would pay more for them.
Although increasing the value of your home can be tricky, these tips are simple changes you can make. If you are ready to make some updates and need a little cash to help, we are happy to provide Home Equity Lines of Credit.
