Increase Your Home’s Value — 4 Simple Ways

How can you increase your home’s value, you ask? Are you looking to get top dollar for one of the largest investments you have? There are some simple ways to ensure you don’t leave money on the table.

Update the Front Door

Curb appeal is one of the biggest things to consider when your making updates to your home. Your front door is a main focal point and an ideal starting point. If you aren’t ready to completely get rid of your front door, a painted door can be a quick and inexpensive way to update the look of your home. Also, you might want to consider updating the hardware to give the door a fresh new appearance.

Replace Fixtures

Fixtures are a simple and inexpensive way to update the inside of your home. Things like door handles, drawer pulls and cabinet handles do not cost a lot to update, but can improve the overall style. If you want to go a step further, you can also consider updating the kitchen or bathroom faucets. An investment in your kitchen is never a bad idea and will almost always offer good ROI.

Programmable Thermostat

Adding home technology can improve marketability when it helps save money on energy or home bills. A programmable thermostat is a great way to save money on your energy usage and is a great selling point.
