Key Insights for 2022
With peak renovation season ahead, here is what real estate experts
- Add more space. Wherever you can, increase your finished and heated square footage. The larger the square footage, the higher your comparability for resale. Think about an unfinished basement, storage room or ability to enclose a garage. Those are great options to increase value. Also, adding a finished deck and even a pergola increases livable space outdoors.
- Adding bedrooms always increases the resale value. Check with your local municipality to see what they qualify as a "legal bedroom." Normally you need an above-grade window and closet to consider it a bedroom. However, there are some cities that do not require closets in order to be bedrooms.
-
Wherever possible, add a bathroom. A full bathroom addition can increase the median resale value by
5.7% on average*. So, if it's a home, then you have increased its resale by$500,000 .$28,500 -
Outdoor livable spaces increase resale value big time. Extending decking or screened porches often show up on the appraisal. Adding a composite deck can be a solid investment and can add tremendous value. A high-quality composite decking material such as
TimberTech , which gives you the look and feel of real wood, adds both aesthetic and can add resale value while requiring less maintenance over time. -
Make choices that last and require little maintenance: Think about renovations that will save you money in the long-term and can outlast how long you live in your home, such as a
TimberTech deck. While these types of updates may cost more upfront, the overall lifecycle saving often makes the investment worth it. - Add updated energy efficient systems and appliances. State-of-the-art and energy efficient appliances and sustainable building materials go a long way with buyers. Add the convenience of smart technology throughout and make sustainable material choices, and it's a win! Smart hubs allow you to plug your home devices in and enable you to control their usage from the palm of your hand. You can optimize the settings to use more power during off-peak hours and less during on-peak hours which saves money. That's a great marketing tool for resale.
-
Boost Curb Appeal. First impressions are lasting impressions. Although it may not show up as a line item on an appraisal, power washing, painting, landscaping and exterior repairs always set the tone for a buyer before they ever enter a home. Studies show that the attractiveness of the exterior of a home can boost its resale price by
7% on average**.
