5 Ways to Increase Your Home’s Resale Value
Selling a home can be a tough task, but here are five things you can do to make it a little easier on yourself:
1. Curb appeal counts.
Before a potential buyer even steps foot in your home, they will already begin forming an opinion based on the exterior. This includes your everything from your roofing, to your siding, down to your landscape and driveway. Make sure all of these things are up to par before putting your home on the market.
2. Focus on the kitchen and bathroom.
When it comes to your home’s interior, the kitchen and bathroom are the two most important components. The appearance of these two rooms can often make or break a sale. If you don’t have money for a full remodel, focus on small, cost-efficient upgrades such as stainless steel appliances or a new vanity counter top.
3. Upgrade your HVAC system.
It may not be at the top of your priority list, but potential buyers could be attracted to the energy-efficiency of a new heating and cooling system. Not only does a new HVAC system offer rebates and energy savings, they do a better job at keeping your home comfortable.
4. Ensure everything is structurally sound.
The last thing you want is to have an offer taken off the table because of structural damage to your home. Wood rot, cracks in the foundation, termites, and similar problems can all turn a sure sale into a “no deal”. Have your home inspected before you put it on the market to snuff out any potentially major problems before they arise.
5. Invest in a standby generator.
Unlike portable generators, standby models are permanently attached to your home. These units can automatically detect a power outage, and supply enough energy to power your entire home. Homeowners love the peace of mind that a standby generator can provide, and it is an instant way to add resale value to your home.
