Home Improvements

Many homeowners find it advantageous to make gradual improvements to their home over time. Making improvements like increasing square footage, improving the living space, and installing upgrades often add luxury and value to the home.

Some upgrades and improvements may be costly and time-consuming, and homeowners may wonder if the money and time will pay off in the long run, especially when it comes time to sell the home.

Common Home Improvements

The value of a home depends on many factors, including the housing market, comparable home values, and the condition and features of the home. Common home improvements that may help increase value include:

• Kitchen upgrades – New countertops, cabinets, and appliances are common improvements that typically add value to a home. Increasing kitchen space and adding features like islands, sinks, and extra storage often help the resale value of the home.
• Bathroom renovation – Bathrooms are a great place to make improvements, especially to the shower, tub, sinks, and countertops. Improvements to increase energy efficiency and efficient water use often add value to the home.
• Paint – New paint on the interior and exterior of the home typically goes a long way toward increasing value. The presentation of the home is usually better and improvements to the “curb appeal” can help attract buyers.
• Exterior additions – Decks, porches, and patios often add value to a home by increasing recreation space.
