When home buyers are looking for a home to purchase, many studies have shown that curb appeal is a major factor in deciding where they will invest their money. In fact, home staging experts say that if your home looks attractive from the street, you can add an average of 5% to the value of your home.
In order to invest in any home improvement project, home owners must first conduct a home appraisal to determine the current market value of their home. Then, home owners can decide if they will invest in home decorating projects to increase the home’s appraised value – or simply improve the enjoyment level of living there.
For home owners who are looking for an easy and sure-fire way to increase the home’s value, here are five home improvement projects that can help.
Just as your home’s interior needs constant maintenance, so does its exterior siding and surfaces. Although this home improvement project can be time consuming, home owners who invest in cleaning their home’s exterior (siding, roof, windows, etc.) will immediately see an increase in home appeal and home value.
If homeowners discover any cracks or holes in their home’s exterior siding, they should contact a home improvement specialist who can come out to assess the damage. This home improvement project is often possible with a home improvement loan, and homeowners who follow through with it will see a dramatic improvement in home value.
If your home’s front door is not an attractive entry way, consider taking on this home improvement project. A new entry door signifies the beginning of something new and fresh for homeowners – as well as home buyers.
While home owners may not immediately think about home improvement projects when it comes to home painting, new paint instantly improves home value and curb appeal. The color that homeowners choose can also increase or decrease home value – so be sure to contact a home improvement specialist before choosing any color schemes.
If homeowners have a backyard, they should consider investing in adding a fire pit. Not only does it add home value and appeal, but home owners can use it to host gatherings with friends and family – which also adds home value. In the end, homeowners who want to increase home appeal will find that these home improvement projects can help – without breaking homeowners’ budgets.
