5 Home Upgrades to Consider when it comes to Return on Investment
These 5 upgrades can give you the best return on investment in our tight market.
Adding Insulation – Adding insulation is something many homeowners don’t think about when it comes to a return on investment but this is one that will help you whether you want to sell or live in your home for years to come. Adding insulation will see you recoup 100% of the cost. You will see a different in your homes energy bills and buyers will appreciate the energy efficiency of your home when it comes time to sell.
Change Out the Front Door – When people come to your home they see your front door first, before entering the home. If you have a front door that is in very good shape, a professional paint job can do the trick. If your door is older or has seen better days you can replace it without adding too much of a dent to your bank account. 2017 home trends have opened the door to stone veneer models, a good sensible steel door in a stand out color is always a good option too.
New Siding – Here in Colorado our siding can take a beating thanks to hail storms and wind. If you are looking at value for money when it comes to home upgrades new vinyl siding will see around an 80% return on what you spend to upgrade. This is more than a kitchen remodeling project can give you when it comes to ROI. One tip I will give you is to pick a neutral color, what might seem like a good idea now when it comes to that dark purple siding may cost you in the end. ROI on a new front door? Right around 90%
Garage Door Upgrade – Have you ever looked at a home only to find a beat up garage door with dents, scratches and sometimes even holes! Garage door comes back to curb appeal and plain usefulness. Upgrading your garage door to an elegant wood or carriage style garage door will see better returns however even a simple upgrade can help you recoup up to 80% on the investment.
Hardwood Floors – As a realtor, it is my experience that many people don’t want carpet in their homes anymore, especially if it is bright white! Wood floors are popular and provide a stylish flooring option that is also very livable. When you upgrade your hardwood floors choose the real stuff, manufactured does not look as nice and is much harder to take care of. Return on investment comes in at between 80 – 90% depending on the type of wood floor you install.
You may wonder where kitchen, bathroom and basement updates fall on the list of upgrades. I will be tackling more on those in the coming weeks. The upgrades on this list provide you with relatively simple projects that can net you a lot when it comes to real estate trends Denver, they can also help make your life more enjoyable while living in your home!
