What room remodels will give you the best resale value? Here’s our advice.
When remodeling your home to sell, you want to spend your time and money on improvements that will give you the best return. If you turn to real estate agents to discover the best rooms to remodel, the following would be their recommendations:
1) BATHROOM
Whether it be a powder room or a master bath, you can expect
a 50-60% return on your investment. With a mid-range budget, you should update the flooring and all fixtures, using especially a trendy faucet or a rain shower head. A new vanity can change the entire look of the bathroom. Converting a bathroom to an age-in-place one with a walk-in shower, grab bars, and wheelchair accessibility yields a 57% return.
Another fantastic remodel for resale value would be a bedroom with an attached bathroom that includes a walk-in closet. Suites with a freestanding tub and a separate shower with body sprays yield a 57% return.
3) KITCHEN REMODEL
Buyers look for kitchens that are updated and ready to use. Most people love an open format with one great room for the kitchen, dining, and living areas; invest for the biggest improvement in the cabinets, floor, and countertops. Cabinets with a flat panel, soft close doors and drawers, and a striking backsplash have a huge appeal. A mid-range kitchen remodel can bring a whopping 72% return.
4) OUTDOOR IMPROVEMENTS
Outdoor living spaces are in high demand. Upgrades do not have to be expensive to increase the value of your home. Patios with a small outdoor cooking area, decks, decent landscaping, and seating areas will increase your home value up to 92%.
5) FRONT DOOR AND GARAGE DOOR
Replace solid doors with ones with windows. A side light or full glass with a new lock for the front door is recommended, and some detail or small windows across the top for the garage doors. This difference adds curb appeal and up to 65-95% return.
Look into these upgrades, whether you are getting ready to sell your home or even staying in your home. All these will bring the best return for your investment.
HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY LABOR DAY HOLIDAY!
