Home Upgrades With A High ROI

Home Upgrades With High ROI

As you continue to make your house a home, you may have already thought about some upgrades for your home to make it your own. Personalizing your home can feel overwhelming at first, especially if there’s a lot you’d like to change. 

What about starting with the upgrades that have the highest return on your investment? 

In this way, the money that you’re investing will raise the value of your home if you decide to sell it in the future. 

Turn The Basement Into Usable Space

Homebuyers are typically looking to upgrade from the square footage that they’re currently in. Utilizing the space in your basement is one of the most efficient ways to add livable space to your home. The basement can be used for just about anything: a home gym, a second living space, additional bedrooms, a craft room, or a playroom. 

This extra space will be great for your family. In the future, it will be a very attractive feature for potential buyers who are looking for more square footage.

Lawn Care

Basic lawn care can really change the way that you look at your home! It can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to adding curb appeal. Some effective ways to upgrade your home’s exterior are: 

  • Regular grass maintenance (Mow, weed control, fresh mulch in the Spring),

  • Modernize your street numbers,

  • Paint the exterior door

  • Pressure wash the house, the patio, and/or driveway, 

  • Add some plants or trees, 

  • Upgrade the garage door,

  • Add seating on the porch or deck

You don’t need to have a “Green Thumb” to feel proud of the exterior of your home!

Bathroom and Kitchen

Bathroom and kitchen upgrades can be pretty pricey when you think about an all-out overhaul. Instead, opt for small upgrades! For the bathroom and kitchen, this could look like upgrading the cabinets by painting them and replacing the hardware. Replace appliances as needed with energy-efficient alternatives. 

We wish you the best as you continue to personalize your home, and I’m always here if you have any questions. Feel free to tag Imagine Home Lending if you post any renovation photos on social media! I’d love to stay in touch.
