Remodels that Increase Your Property Value

You have a beautiful home. It is comfortable and has everything you need. But what about if it's time to sell? Does it have everything the next homeowner needs?

What are some guidelines to raise your home's value most effectively?

Here we discuss the five additions to your home with the most "bang for your buck".

An Extra Bathroom

Whether you add an expansive master bath or an additional hallway bath, adding an extra bathroom can exponentially increase your home's value. For example, if you have a three bedroom single bath home, a second bathroom could be imperative in giving you the appealing edge you need to sell your home. Think full bath with separate oversized tub, waterfall shower, towel warmer, and his and hers sinks. Updating or matching the new fixtures alone can give your current bathroom the overhaul needed to command the best price.

An Extra Bedroom

Here in New Mexico, a popular remodeling option used to be upgrading a two-bedroom home into a three-bedroom by converting an attached single car garage into suitable living quarters. But what about when you need a safe, covered place to park your actual vehicle? Family sizes tend to fluctuate overall, leading to the necessity of multiple bedrooms in a desired home. These days, many buyers are looking for adequate space for guests, a separate office for a home business, or even a hobby or workout room. Adding an extra bedroom meets all those needs, as well as adds valuable square footage to your residence. Recessed lighting, dimmer switches, and professional paint all add to the custom look of your newly-added bedroom.

A Sunroom

Relax to the sound of an indoor water feature nestled amidst potted tropical plants. Install a free-standing hammock. Cozy up in an oversized reading chair and your favorite book. These are some of the indulgences possible when you add a sunroom to your home. In North America, south-facing sunrooms yield the best natural light for growing plants or reading. Adding ceiling fans or built-in shelving boosts the possibilities for you or your buyers as well.

A Deck

Do you have views? Peaceful trees and greenery? Imagine walking out onto your deck with a hot cup of coffee in the morning, or enjoying the fading light of the sun as you wait for the night's first stars to emerge. We have several clients who love cooking and entertaining outdoors too. A beautiful wrap-around deck can give your property an inviting and functional space to relax and entertain al fresco. With a variety of materials and styles available, adding a deck to your home will increase the versatility of your home's gathering areas.

A Screened-In Porch

A happy medium between a sunroom and a deck, adding a screened-in porch provides you extra living space with an outdoor vibe and also protection from insect 'wildlife'. Hang a swing, add some greenery, and maybe some occasional tables for tea or lemonade. If you are looking to supplement your indoor living spaces, you can't go wrong with an inviting sheltered porch.

THERE are several good options when looking to increase the comfort and marketability of your home. These wise choices mentioned above will yield maximum added value for your remodeling dollar.
