A popular investment is to buy a house that needs a lot of work, fix it up, and then sell it for a profit. But even if your house is in good condition, some simple remodeling can help you get a higher price on the market when you decide to sell. If you’re planning on selling your house, then read on for some tips on how to remodel it to increase your resale value and attract more buyers.
Improve your curb appeal
First impressions matter when it comes to buying and selling houses. If the front of your home is unattractive, then this could influence the opinion of potential buyers before they’ve even stepped foot inside your home. Simple things like tidying up the front yard or applying a fresh coat of paint to the front of your house can improve your curb appeal and create a good first impression.
A kitchen remodel
Many people spend a lot of time in the kitchen, cooking, eating, doing the dishes, or even socializing. This is especially the case in houses with an open plan kitchen and dining room or living room. So, improvements to your kitchen can really pay off when selling your house. New floors or kitchen countertops are popular with house hunters, particularly if you opt for natural stone. Custom kitchen cabinets can also really improve the look of your kitchen as well as adding to or optimizing the amount of storage space available.
Add an extra bathroom
Let’s say you’re selling your 3-bedroom house and a family of 4 are interested in it. If your house only has one bathroom, then this could put them off, especially if they have teenage children who spend a lot of time in the bathroom getting ready. Adding a second (or third) bathroom to your home can increase its value and make it easier to sell. If you don’t have the budget for this, then you can install custom bathroom cabinets to increase the amount of storage space for toiletries, towels, etc.
Upgrade the storage space
The amount of storage space available can also be a deciding factor for some people. Families with young children, in particular, need a lot of storage space for the kids’ toys, clothes, and everything else. And adults who like to buy a lot of clothes, shoes, and accessories might also prioritize closet space. Adding additional closets or expanding existing closets can increase storage space and make your home more attractive to buyers.
