Renovate Your Home Now to Add Value Later

While some renovations will require a bigger investment up front, there are also less costly renovations that can be done to offer a higher return in the future.

Painting is a lower-cost investment that can be made to brighten up your home; home buyers are often looking for a home that they can move into without investing a lot of time or money in before they can move in. A new coat of paint for the interior of your home can make a huge difference to the look of your home, making it feel fresh. While bright colors can really complement your personal decorating style, most home buyers prefer neutral colors, which they can easily personalize if they want.

Renovating bathrooms and kitchens are a bigger investment than painting but the investment is one that can really return some bang for your buck. A bright, updated kitchen is a huge draw to potential buyers over one that is dated and dark. Likewise, a nice bright bathroom can make a lot of difference to home buyers who’ve likely seen more than their fair share of old, dated bathrooms in their house hunting. If your home presently only has one bathroom and you have some extra space to work with, consider installing a second bathroom in your home; many home buyers won’t even look at a home that only has one bathroom.

Updating the lawn is an added benefit to the exterior of your home. One doesn’t have to have a green thumb to make their lawn look welcoming, inviting, and beautiful. Adding some bright colored flowers or fresh mulch around trees can add that extra pizzazz to the exterior of a home. Curb appeal is just as important as the interior of a home. This is something the entire family can have fun doing, and with little expense. The best part is that you can change the look as often as you like!

Whatever your choice, remember that anytime you plan on renovating your home where there will be construction involved, make sure that you first check out what permits you might need.
