2 Home Renovations that Homeowners can do to

Increase Home’s Value


Before listing their homes for sale, many homeowners may undergo large renovation
improvements. After all, improvements always increase the sale price,
right? Regrettably, no.
Upgrades frequently fail to pay for themselves. So, how can a homeowner renovate
deliberately to increase the value of their home? Here are two house improvements that
can increase the value of your property:

Create an Addition
Make the most of your investment by selecting materials and features that add value
and uniqueness to your home. Whether you own a large or small home, room and
house additions are crucial investments. In addition to increasing your accessible in-
home storage and living space, adding rooms with desired characteristics to house
buyers can raise the value of your property.
Adding a second storey to your home is one of the most expensive home improvement
tasks. This addition may cost anywhere between $60,000 and $600,000, depending on
the size of your property, and it adds considerable square footage and market value to
your home. Consult a contractor or architect to ensure that your home's structure and
foundation can support a second storey extension!
Adding an additional room or apartment above a garage is a terrific way to increase
square footage without making your house look cluttered. With the base already in
place, all that is required are walls and a roof. You may rent it out or use it as a guest
bedroom after it's ready. Keep in mind that some house additions, such as a new roof,
Type X fireproof drywall, and vapor barriers, will be more expensive than others.
Building an additional over-the-garage room normally costs roughly $35 per square foot.

Redo Your Kitchen


Kitchen is the heart of the house, thus, functionality is essential. Remodeling a kitchen
may be exciting and fulfilling, especially if it is tailored to your specific requirements and
aspirations. A new kitchen may boost the value of a house. In general, the value is
indicated as a percentage of the money invested on the makeover that the homeowner
recovers after selling the home. According to Better Homes and Gardens, homeowners
can expect a 52% return on their investment in a new kitchen if they sell their property.
The exact amount you'll recuperate is determined by several factors, including the worth
of your home, the value of homes in your community, and the quality of the renovation.

The Bottomline
Your renovation selection should be dependent on your timetable, market, budget, and
pricing aim. Remember to consider your pleasure of the property while you're still living
there. With this in mind, you cannot rate your property only on its monetary value. So,
before you start adding more room or remodeling your kitchen, think about the
emotional and aesthetic worth as well.
