Are you considering selling your home but wondering which improvements will yield the best return? Our expert tips will guide you through cost-effective upgrades that buyers love. While upgrading is a great way to build on your home’s existing value, there are home improvement projects that aren’t worth your time or effort. Today, I will explain four essential tips to guide you on what to do, what to avoid, and how to ensure your home improvement project’s success:
1. Avoid over-the-top and lavish changes. Extravagant upgrades on the kitchen or landscaping, for example, will not yield a good return on investment as these are neither necessary nor cost-effective.
2. Avoid partial projects. Once you start a project, make sure you finish it. While completed projects can significantly increase your home’s value, unfinished projects can negatively impact your final sales price.
3. Focus on the right projects. Simple improvements like replacing or refinishing your garage door, maintaining clean landscaping, and touching up kitchen flooring and paint can make a big difference without spending beyond your budget.
4. Choose the right contractor. A good contractor is essential in the success of home improvement projects. They will help you manage costs, suggest high-quality additions that fit your budget, and get the details right the first time. Reach out to us for suggestions on the best contractors and interview them. Ask for examples of their finished work and check their licenses and certifications. Ensure they are responsive to your messages, show up on time, and keep you updated on the status of the project.
