Although many homeowners might be tempted to take on a project that appeals specifically to them, it might make more sense to find renovations that will appeal to a broader audience. Although your personal preferences do count, if you want to focus on resale value, certain changes will go over better than others.
The Showstoppers
As has been the case for years, kitchen and bathroom remodels tend to bring the highest returns because people spend lots of time and want to feel comfortable in those spaces. Plus, changes to these room make a home feel move-in ready. And it doesn’t have to be a huge overhaul—you can simply repaint, change light fixtures, update hardware, or add energy-efficient appliances to make a significant change without breaking the bank.
Outdoor Living
Increasing living space by tapping into outdoor areas makes a home more comfortable (and seem larger), and it appeals to home buyers. Think about a pad with a pergola or a shaded patio with overhead fans.
Curb Appeal
The first view someone has of your home is the one that creates their impression of it. Increasing curb appeal feels better for you as you return from away and signals to buyers that you take care of the space. You can redo the landscaping, get a new entryway door, update the siding, or add outdoor lighting for nighttime.
Energy Efficiency
Upgrades that can make your home more energy-efficient and potentially lower energy bills can make you feel better and can make your home more appealing to potential buyers. Think energy-efficient windows, updated insulation, or an upgraded HVAC system. An additional benefit to these elements is drawing in eco-conscious home purchasers.
Window Fashions
New window treatments actually tick a few of the above boxes as well! If you want to improve your home’s energy efficiency, consider insulating treatments like Duette® Cellular Shades, which are made with honeycomb construction that traps air at the window. To improve curb appeal, even if you want different treatments to go with the style and function of different rooms, you can choose a similar backing so it looks consistent from the outside. For outdoor living, think about solar shades on your covered patio to help block the sun. And if you update your kitchen or bath, be sure to get new window fashions to match.
