If you are like most homeowners, you have a long renovations checklist of projects to complete “someday.” But that dream bathroom or high-end kitchen doesn’t have to wait. If you read our recent blog, The 3 Best DIY Tips For Remodeling On A Budget, you know that with a little know-how and a can-do attitude, you can achieve a stunning end result without spending a fortune.
Shopping online at The RTA Store, doing some of the work yourself, and being mindful of sales are smart choices when crossing off items on your home renovations checklist. With that said, it’s also wise to focus your efforts on updates that offer the greatest return on investment when renovation project planning. Read on to learn about the top three renovations that add value to your home.
A high-end kitchen is key.
The kitchen is the heart of the home and a hub for friends and family to gather. And it’s not just for your own enjoyment. According to HGTV, the kitchen can “make or break the sale of a house.” Potential buyers look for elements typically found in a high-end kitchen, like granite countertops, quality cabinets and appliances, and convenient features like a pull-out pantry and inside cabinet accessories that help with organization.
In their 2019 remodeling impact report, the National Association of Realtors estimates that homeowners can recoup 52% of the cost of a kitchen upgrade when selling their home, and sometimes even more. That is why a kitchen remodel tops this list and is one of the best investments to make when renovation project planning and looking to boost your home’s value.
Don’t overlook the bathroom.
Where do you go when you need a little “me time” or simply want to unwind. The bathroom, of course! A dream bathroom is another sure-fire investment on your renovations checklist. According to moving.com, part of the realtor.com network, homeowners can easily expect to recoup over 60% of the cost to remodel when selling. If you are on a tight budget, high-value upgrades to focus on include a new bathroom vanity (including faucets and sinks), bathroom hardware, and flooring. A walk-in shower (and/or soaking tub) is also a nice addition and one that you (and future buyers) will certainly appreciate!
Add liveable square footage.
It’s no secret that building an addition can add major value to your home. So can adding more liveable space. Whether it’s converting an unused corner into a home office or extra TV room, creating an outdoor living space, or adding an amazing closet system, laundry room, or home bar. You could even design an incredible garage hangout! According to Open Door, home size and usable space really do matter, and are critical factors that influence a home’s value.
