Home Renovation Tips for Resale
Planning to sell your house this year? Remodeling can mean the difference between "for sale" and "sold." People buying a house look first at kitchens and baths but before you tear the whole place apart, here are a few tips from the experts at Spain Residential.
Market Trends
Market trends may provide clues as to whether buyers will respond to a remodeling effort you're pondering. Data suggests, for example, that homebuyers are hot on modern styled bathrooms. Also trending are open floor plans and water conserving landscaping.
Kitchen facelift
Renew Cabinets, Upgrade Countertops & Replacing your kitchen faucet are some definite facelift basics. If your home is outdated consider updating.
Invest in white cabinetry
It's really no wonder since white cabinetry carries with it a timeless element that offers benefits both subtle and obvious. Many home buyers younger than 40 prefer white or off-white kitchen cabinetry. They don't want to see their momma's dark kitchen cabinetry in their new home! White kitchen cabinets are a prominent trend in designing and really add a classic fresh look to the home.
Go for Granite
No matter the price range of your home, buyers want to see granite countertops. If you opt for solid surface such as pulverized quartz, choose a "pattern" that looks like granite.
Stay Neutral
By neutral, we don't mean white. Choose surfaces and fixtures that blend with many styles. Select countertops and cabinets that are not busy or loud, If your target demographic is "young professional" or "young family," try using a warm gray as a neutral wall color. On-trend neutrals like grays allow potential homeowners to envision bringing in complementary colors and clean-lined furnishings to make it their own.
Remove walls
Imagine attending an open house where the rooms are difficult to navigate, dark or simply too small and cramped. Not pleasant, is it? People almost always want to improve the flow and connection between rooms. Consider taking down a wall between the kitchen and dining room, the living room and kitchen, or the kitchen and breakfast nook to open up the space.
