Unlocking Your Home’s Value: The 3 Essential Upgrades To Boost Your Profits

By Desi Williams

I'm a Real Estate Broker. I'm good at what I do, and I'll be there with you every step of the way, because I don't know any other way. I'm more than just a buying and selling agent, I'm somebody who wants to help you create your next paradise with everything that means – to you.

When preparing your house for sale, you may be led to believe that the more upgrades you make, the higher the price you can list for. However, not all home upgrades are created equal; some will have you pouring money down the drain, while others will get you immediate resale value. Understanding which projects to take on can help you make thousands of dollars more. So, what home improvements should you do if you want to get a fantastic return on your investment? There are three projects you’ll want to take on:

1. Add more usable square footage. Projects such as creating a home office space, building an open floor plan, and finishing your basement can give you that additional space that buyers want nowadays. Any extra space will add value.

2. Update your kitchen and bathrooms. These are important areas in any house, so pour into them. Whether you improve the rooms you have now or add new ones, pouring into your kitchen and bathrooms will help you sell your house for top dollar. 

3. Improve your curb appeal. This is the first thing people see when they pull up to your house, so this is very important. Ask yourself: Does the front door look nice? Is the landscape cleaned up? Are there toys all over? Are there hoses strung out? Overall, just make sure to increase your home’s curb appeal to make a good first impression. 

Home improvements can be expensive, so you want to make sure you’re investing in the right projects. If you’re not sure whether your renovation plans are worth pursuing, feel free to call or email me. I’m happy to give you real estate advice and help you get the best value for your home.
