If selling you home is in your future, you should take these upgrade ideas into consideration. Here are 5 upgrades to increase your home’s value: 

 

Kitchen Remodel  

The kitchen is where people spend most of their time entertaining and preparing meals. Potential buyers will be looking for an updated or more modern kitchen. You can pull this off but making some minor cosmetic changes. Switch out the faucet, replace the flooring, add a backsplash, or even replace the counter tops. Even some of the simplest modifications can help increase the sale price.  

 Brighten up that kitchen with a cabinet color change. Sanding and painting the cabinets can give an outdated kitchen a whole new face lift. Even something as small as switching out a light fixture to adding recessed lighting can change the look of the room and add value. 

 

Bathroom Remodel 

Give your bathroom a facelift, thi Philadelphia s can add some serious value to your home. Simple moves like a fresh coat of paint, new vanity, flooring and maybe even a shower head switch can breathe new life into an outdated bathroom.  Even switching to a pedestal sink can help make your bathroom look larger and more appealing.   

 

Landscaping 

Curb appeal is a major attraction to a property. Add a garden or some hedges for a look or even to use as a layer or privacy. How well is your grass growing? Maybe it needs little TLC. A well-manicured lawn will not only look inviting to potential buyers, but it will also help increase the sale price. If your grass is past the point of saving even converting to a low maintenance yard with pea gravel can keep the cost down for you but appeal to a buyer lacking a green thumb.  

 

Replace Windows/Doors 

Windows can not only enhance the exterior appeal of your home, but they can also be a cost saver. Updating a front window can breathe new life into your property. Switch out the front door or even just spruce it up with a fresh coat of paint. Not only will it look great and help conserve energy usage, it will also add value to your home.

Whether you choose to convert a garage to a home gym, or a spare bedroom into a office, this can add value.  It important to know your audience young professionals may seek and office where a family with young children may prefer an extra family/ playroom. Giving this space life will help showcase your home’s true potential.
