Ways to Add Value To Your Home

With home prices skyrocketing this year, it only helps that when you’re preparing to sell your home, renovated kitchens and bathrooms help to sell homes. But as you get ready to sell, think about a few other ways to add value to your house.

The first unexpected way to add value to your home is by improving the front door- and that means getting a new one. A new front door adds 96.6 percent of the amount you spend to the value of your home, says MSN.com. However, if you’re strapped for cash, sometimes even just painting the existing front door will provide you with the same payoff.

Another way to add increase value to your house is by replacing the old garage door, and by replacing old windows with new ones. Although it can be pricey, it pays off in the end when selling your home because home buyers see and appreciate that. They are more likely to purchase the home because it has new windows.

Finally, an addition to the house can cost you, so building up instead of out can be a great way to go if you need to add space. An attic bedroom is a smart renovation, and can increase the value of your home by 84.3 percent.
