Do you live in your forever home? For most homeowners these days, the answer is no. So, whether you plan to live in your house for the next 15-30 years or just plan on staying for the next 5-7 years, you benefit from updating your home in ways that will give you the greatest return. Check out some of our favorite upgrades, remodels and renovations that pack the best bang for the buck listed below!
Kitchen Remodel
Everyone knows that the kitchen is the heart of the home! It is also one of the most important rooms for creating a liveable (for you) and sellable space (for future home buyers.) A simple kitchen update can change an entire home! Some things you may consider updating include the cabinet doors, countertops, wallpaper/paint, and appliances.
Curb Appeal
Making your home and yard look appealing is a great step to take in your first five years. Studies show that this update is the single biggest return on investment that any homeowner can make! You’ll be happier with your house, and when you eventually sell, buyers will get a positive first impression of your property. Pressure washing, adding a fresh coat of paint, or putting up new siding can make a huge difference to the house overall. Planting some greenery on either side of a freshly painted door can also add to your curb appeal.
Go with Energy-Saving Options
Your washer, dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher, toilet, and even light bulbs can cause a higher than necessary power bill. Replacing non-energy-efficient appliances early will save you money down the road. You may also want to look into energy-efficient windows. Additonally many rebates are avilable for energy saving updates you make in your home. For more information about rebate programs contact Talquin Electric or the City of Tallahassee Utilities.
Don’t forget, before you can start investing in your new home, you have to find it. If you or someone you know is ready to find their next home, give me a call!
