Are you thinking that it might be time to renovate your home? Maybe you’re trying to convince your partner and you need some smart reasons. If so, you’ve come to the right place.

Better Chance Of Selling Your Home

If you renovate your home now, you have a greater chance of selling your home within in your desired timeframe. Even if you don’t plan on selling until later, renovating it is still a great idea. You’ll likely make your money back on your renovation investments, and then some, if you choose your renovations correctly.

Make sure you do your research and know what people are looking for. Bear in mind, you don’t want to end up pricing your home out of the street, or making it look like the odd one out. This could hinder your chances of selling for the price you want and in the timeframe you want.

Renovate Your Home To Make It More Valuable

When you renovate your home, you’ll make it more valuable. You can add more value than you actually spend if you choose wisely. Just remember, things such as ponds and pools can actually bring the value down if you don’t research and think about them properly. Not everybody wants to deal with the money and maintenance costs that come with having water features.

However, excellent gains can be made by putting money into the garden. There’s an old adage  “Spend $100 in the garden and you’ll add $1,000 to the house”. And keep in mind,when you renovate your home the wet areas – kitchen, bathroom, laundry – are the most critical to gaining interest from buyers and an increase in perceived value.

Renovate Your Home To Make It More Energy Efficient

Energy efficiency is a big consideration when you renovate your home. You can add solar lighting, solar panels, double glazing, LED lights, seal cornices, and buy more energy efficient appliances. This will make your home more attractive to the new age buyer, as well as save you money on your energy bills. Plus, you can sleep easy at night knowing you’re doing your bit for the environment.

Renovate Your Home To Make It More Practical

When you renovate your home you have the opportunity to make it more practical.  Having lived in your home for a while, you’ll likely have areas and points that you don’t consider to be practical. You may even consider them to be annoying. For example, traffic flow through a home is important. Do you have bottleneck points where the traffic could flow better? Could you replace worn carpet with tiles, slate or wood on high traffic places? Would taking out a wall or adding a window create better visual flow through the house?

This is why living in a home for at least six months BEFORE you renovate is also very important. You get a feel for what works and what doesn’t.

 

Your Home Feels Boring And Stale To You
