5 Ways to Add Value to Your Home
With the long Labor Day weekend just around the corner, there's not a better time to work on adding value to your home. Your spouse and kids might also be around to help pitch in. I have selected five ways that cost less then $1000 to help create value in your home.
How about doing some landscaping? This is a less expensive project estimated at costing you about $300 to $400 which might bring your $1,500 - $2,000 in value according to HomeGain.com. Use plants that add color and complement your house.
My favorite is paint. It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do to transfer your home. Keeping it neutral will attract more buyers. According to HomeGain.com this will bring you a 250% return too. Plus the kids will love to help!
Another money maker is storage and organization. Homes functions can be just as valuable to the potential buyer. The estimated cost for this project will be about $20-$500. Another great project to have the kids help, maybe they can start with their closets.
There are 2 more that go hand and hand. Replacing sinks & faucets. It's suggested you start in the kitchen, you can replace the sink and faucet in a matter of hours, so put your spouse to work! You can recoup 70 - 80% of the cost on kitchen remodeling when you sell your home.
