The top 4 ways to increase your home's value

Your home is an investment for the future, so you want to take good care of it. Making improvements can help you live more comfortably and build equity in your home. Here are the top four ways to increase your home’s value.

Updating the Kitchen

This is a great way to make your home look updated and modern. Plus, updating any aspect of the kitchen will help you with the resale value when it’s time to sell again! Add some new appliances like a stainless steel refrigerator with a matching stove and a granite countertop with a backsplash.

Create a cozy atmosphere in the kitchen by adding some natural lighting with a skylight or window. Upgrade the lighting with LED bulbs for energy efficiency and lower power consumption. Replace all of your old kitchen appliances so that it’s modern and up to date, rather than using dated appliances from 20 years ago!

Take out any clutter you don’t need in the rooms by decluttering closets, drawers, shelves, cabinets – anywhere that items are stored inside your home. By doing this, the space will seem bigger when someone walks through it during showings later on down the road.

Paint Your Home’s Exterior with Fresh Colors

Get some fresh paint! Select colors that are neutral or complementary to one another. Don’t choose dark colors because they will recede into background shadows when dusk falls in the winter months.

Consider painting only the front face while still leaving side walls unpainted for contrast; new siding creates a more dramatic change and comes at a larger investment than exterior paint. While you are painting the exterior, be sure to check the condition of your roof to see if it needs any roof repair.

Select the right colors for your home’s exterior by considering how light will reflect off of them. In addition, colors should be kept in the same color family, which means you can pick from analogous or monochromatic hues to create a unified feel across your exterior walls and trim boards.

Curb Appeal Is Important

When it comes to curb appeal, first impressions are key: if someone sees something bad before they even step inside, then odds are they won’t bother looking any further. So make sure that anything negative is hidden behind closed doors or at least out-of-sight as much as possible; this includes garden clutter such as old furniture and toys lying around where kids once played but don’t anymore.

Plant flowers and shrubs outside for a pop of color. A lush green lawn and well-kept flowerbeds are a sure sign of attention to detail. Make your yard into the little oasis that it deserves to be with plenty of flowers and mix in some trees if you have space; tall, leafy evergreens will give your home even more, curb appeal as they block out any unwelcome view from neighbors’ homes.

Add some natural stones to space along with some mulch to keep weeds at bay.

Adding an Outdoor Space

An outdoor space is not just for recreation; in fact, homeowners with backyards often report more success on resale listings than those without. Plus, an outdoor patio or deck provides perfect spaces to entertain friends during warm weather months–and feel like home year-round. Adding additional square footage also increases value tremendously.
