Remodeling Ideas To Think About This Fall
As the active summer season slows down many homeowners have more time to focus on projects they would like to have done around the house. Your Favorite Real Estate Team knows that certain renovations and remodels can be a solid way to increase the value of your home, appeal to more buyers, and bring a better price whenever you decide to sell. If you would like to know what projects you can do to increase the equity and appeal of your home, read on!
Kitchen.
They say the kitchen is the heart of the home and it definitely is where we spend a lot of our time. In today’s market, a large bright kitchen is something buyers are really looking for in a home. Many people like to cook and entertain, and they want the space and functionality to do it efficiently. Having a large kitchen island, lots of useful storage, and an open concept kitchen/dining area is important. Upgraded appliances and natural stone countertops are also something buyers want. Even if you are not wanting to sell right now, these are updates you will enjoy using yourself in the meantime and will add value to your home.
Bathrooms.
Having too few or only one bathroom in a home can actually be a deal breaker for many people. If your home has only one bathroom adding a second bathroom or at least a half bath can go a long way in appealing to buyers. If you have enough baths or there is no feasible way to add another, upgrade the one you have. Buyers love to see nice waterproof flooring, stone countertops, roomy walk-in showers and double vanities with room for ample storage. But always opt for adding a second bathroom before updating your only one.
Landscaping & Outdoor Living.
When it comes to landscaping for a home at the Lake of the Ozarks, think about outdoor living space and curb appeal. With a waterfront home, the curb appeal may matter even more when it comes to the view of your house on the lake side. Around here, the lake side of a waterfront home is usually considered the front side of the house and if there is not enough outdoor living space on the lake side, it can make one question why they are spending the money on a lake front home. Just adding decks or terracing for patios to create places to sit and grill and visit with friends and family can totally change a buyer’s perspective. Once they can see themselves hanging out and chilling lakeside, your lake house will start to feel like home to them.
Home Office.
As so many people are able to work from home now, more and more
of them are deciding they want to do so from here at the lake. So having a great home office staged in your house
can be an eye-catching bonus to a lot of buyers. It doesn’t have to be huge or even a full room. It could be part of your guest room. You just need a dedicated area to let someone
know that the home is ready and waiting for them to set up a workstation and settle
in. This can be done with the right office furniture, window space, and shelving
and can have a great impact on the appeal of your home to a work from home
buyer.
