Any improvement you make on your home is considered an investment. That’s as much true for mowing the lawns as it is for repaving the driveway. With an eye towards the day that you might someday resell your home, you should consider that the best home improvements are the ones that can provide a decent return on your investment. Here are some of those improvements to consider:
A Minor Kitchen Remodel
A minor kitchen remodel won’t involve things like knocking down walls or installing skylights. Although those might be appreciated changes they are not always practical. The minor kitchen remodel is more cosmetic. Cabinets can be re-faced along with new laminate countertops and flooring. You could replace a few appliances and still be able to recoup a large portion of your investment. Other touches like adding recessed lighting and swapping out your faucet fixtures can also be positive investment decisions
A minor kitchen remodel averages $14,913 for $14,691 at resale, a recoup rate of 98.5 percent. Do a minor remodel when your kitchen needs a cosmetic update and not a drastically different floor plan.
Attic Conversion
Your home’s attic can be converted into a guestroom, office or playroom. The first consideration is access. It would only be practical if there are stairs leading up to the attic. If that is the case, then it would be easy to put up drywall over exposed rafters and install nice flooring. You may have to run additional heating and electrical outlets up there but it shouldn’t be too costly a proposition. If there is a chance to install an additional bathroom in the attic, then that would be something to think about as well. With this conversion you are essentially adding another fully functional room to a home which will definitely impact a future listing.
Major Bathroom Remodel
A major bathroom remodel would involve extending an existing space. It might mean relocating the tub and sink and building out a linen closet. You could replace a standing tub with a walk-in shower. The vanity can have a new countertop and fixtures. A remodeled bathroom is very attractive to prospective buyers especially if the existing bathroom spaces are limited.
