In today’s market, that means three things: the kitchen,
bathroom and landscaping.
My wife and I just bought another home. We are in the
process of gutting the kitchen, one of the bathrooms, the half-bathroom, redoing
the floors, painting, and making a few other fixes around the house. As we
tackle these renovations, we always cast an eye toward what will add value to
the property to increase its value.
In the kitchen, we have a great open space – a perfect opportunity
to create a floor plan that didn’t exist before. We are designing it for our
likes and preferences as well as what will appeal to the mass market.
With the bathrooms, it’s the same philosophy: clean and
crisp, with beautiful white subway tile floors and a large vanity with a
granite top. These are improvements my family will enjoy and will appeal to the
next family if we decide to sell.
Outstanding landscaping is important. When a potential home
buyer pulls up to the curb, you want them to say, “Wow, this place looks great!”
They often think if the landscaping looks great, the inside must be dynamite.
