When it comes to renovating to your home, you may wonder about the future potential. Will your changes add value and give you a strong return on the investment you’ve made? Proven positive upgrades include: a new front door, converting an unused office space into a bedroom, upgrading the kitchen or master bath, and installing new garage doors.
Projects that don’t tend to increase value include: expanding the size of a master suite, building an additional garage, or adding home theater. Other updates that don’t give a return on the investment—and can actually turn away potential buyers—include Installing a hot tub and decorating with carpeting or wallpaper.
But remember—it’s your home and you do live in it! It’s important to have a place where you feel comfortable and surrounded by a look that you love. You can always make updates and stage your home to have broader appeal. And when you’re ready to that, we are here to help!
