Top 5 Renovations to increase the resale price of your home

Homebuyers nowadays are trying to find the perfect house that suits their everyday needs. Some might need a large house that can be their office, some might only need a small house that fits their small family. But they will also likely be interested in just how move-in ready the home is. Sellers now can take advantage of this stuff by making some renovation of their house to attract and get more interesting offers from buyers.

Here are some talked about renovations that can help you get your house more attractive and interesting to home buyers

1. Paint your house

Having neutral colors throughout, like whites, beiges, or soft grays is a great idea. According to NAR “A vast majority, 88%, say they have a greater desire to be home since having their home freshly painted.”

2. Have a uniform flooring

Most realtors will suggest having uniform flooring to homeowners before selling. The reason is having one or two types of flooring will attract and look more appealing to homebuyers. Mostly of homebuyers expect the house to have hardwood flooring or premium vinyl which looks more appealing when they plan to buy a house. According to NAR having hardwood floors helped increase ROI.

3. Keep the kitchen bright

The kitchen is the heart of the home. White-colored kitchens remain the most popular. They can brighten the look of the space. “What the buyers are looking for today is white and clean—they just want clean,” Harrison told HomeLight. “It doesn’t have to be stark white. But they just want a clean palette.”

Dated kitchen cabinets can be painted by a pro for a quick fix. If the kitchen has other colors throughout, real estate pros recommend painting the walls white to try to brighten the space. Also, kitchen cabinets can get an upgrade with new hardware, such as hand pulls.

4.Replace your appliances

Consider replacing older appliances with new energy-efficient models, which are better for the environment and use less energy. Potential buyers are often looking for ways to save money when shopping for a new home.

5. Upgrade your bathroom.

Bathrooms are typically the place a buyer gives the most value in a home. The good news is that making updates to a bathroom doesn’t have to cost a fortune, you just need to make it look good. 

Adding accessibility features to your bathroom—upgrades that can make life easier for disabled, handicapped, or older buyers and it increases resale value. You can include things like installing a curbless, walk-in shower, adding radiant-heat flooring, upgrading to adjustable mirrors and showerheads, and installing grab bars and wheelchair-height switches. If upping the accessibility of your space doesn’t seem appealing, general bathroom remodels can also improve your home’s value.
