Homeownership is a wonderful thing! Being able to customize your home to suit your lifestyle and tastes is ideal. But how far should you go if you aren’t in your “forever” home? Here are the best home renovations that have the highest ROI. The best part, you can still create a space that suits your design style!
- Light bathroom remodel – This can be classified as an update. Not a full gut job. Replace any outdated items such as counter tops, hardware, and plumbing fixtures. Repair wear and tear. Switch out the mirror and light fixtures. You’ll be amazed at the difference it will make.
- Curate the landscaping – If your yard is overgrown, you need to trim it back. If it is lacking in greenery, add some in. A beautiful yard is the first impression your home makes.
- Attic to bedroom conversion – Do you have a large attic space that could be made into a bedroom? Then you should do it! Additional square footage means more money when it is time to sell. Plus you will have an additional space for your own use while you are there.
- Finishing an unfinished basement – see above! Additional square footage means more money.
- Kitchen remodel – Definitely fix the wear and tear. Update the appliances. Replace cabinetry that is beyond repair. Put in new counter tops. You will recoup the bulk of the costs you put in if you are smart about your choices.
