Are you wanting to create your dream home, but also want to ensure you increase it’s value? It is important to upgrade the features, amenities, and elements of your home. The upgrades are necessary for attracting potential buyers when you are ready to sell. You can increase the value of your home by keeping the following tips in mind.

Remodel The Bathroom

One way to add monetary worth to your home is to remodel the bathroom. Start by upgrading the light fixtures or storage solutions. If you are making any major upgrades, you want to start with the bathtub and shower. It is also important to replace any materials that have been affected by mold or mildew, and make sure you work your way up from the floor during construction. You can make an energy efficient upgrade by installing radiant heat flooring, and you can reduce the risk of mold with additional ventilation.

Remodel The Kitchen

It is just as important to remodel the kitchen as it is to remodel the bathroom. You can start with smaller upgrades such as pocket doors and pull-out storage. One idea is to add more function with a pet area or charging station. Your other upgrades may include new appliances, counter surfaces or wood flooring.

You can add a unique vibe to your home by creating an outdoor kitchen with a dining area. It can include popular features such as a fire pit, built-in grill or stone pizza oven.

Update The Exterior

You must upgrade the exterior if you want to add monetary worth to your home. Your buyers may turn away if they see an exterior full of maintenance or cosmetic problems.

Start by checking the roof for any cracks or visible damage, and be sure to check the rain gutters to ensure they are draining the water properly. You do not want to leave your buyer with a leaky roof or clogged gutters.

Once you repair the maintenance issues, you can work on the cosmetic upgrades. You may want to give the garage door a fresh coat of paint or refinish your patio.

Use Granite or Natural Stone

If you are upgrading the counters and vanities, you may want to consider a granite surface for these areas. Granite is durable and easy to maintain, and this material never goes out of style.

When upgrading the exterior, it is best to use natural stone. Imagine how beautiful your exterior is going to look with a natural stone pathway.

Improve Your Curb Appeal

You can attract more buyers to your home by boosting your curb appeal. Start by checking out an aerial photo of your home, and use the photo to map out your landscape. Use the existing features and proportions of your home to create a landscape that blends in with your property.

Once you come up with a plan, start working on your plants, gravel, fencing and other elements that create an attractive landscape.
