If you plan on selling your home in the next couple years, what can you do to build equity in it? There are four factors that contribute the most when it comes to adding value to your home.
The first factor is the condition of your kitchen and bathrooms. If these two areas are outdated, most buyers nowadays won’t want to put in the work to update them. They want to see newer kitchens and bathrooms. I just recently remodeled my kitchen, and I think it added some great value to my house.
The second factor is whether you can add square footage to the home. Coming from an appraisal standpoint, adding square footage is one of the best things you can do. That’s what appraisers look at the most.
Pay attention to these four factors when it comes to adding value to your home.
The third factor is curb appeal. What’s the outside of the home look like? Are you getting the exterior power-washed? Does the landscaping looking good?
The final factor is the overall condition of the house. Are there a lot of dings in the drywall? Does the paint show well? Does the staging look good? I recommend having a handyman pay a visit a couple times a year to perform the random knickknack tasks that you either don’t want to do or don’t have time to do and make sure the condition of the home stays in good shape.
