4 Tips On How To Start Investing In Your Home

4 Tips On How To Start Investing In Your Home🏠

Before you list your home for sale, you’ll be thinking about what you can upgrade to get the best return. While most people turn to a kitchen or bathroom remodel, there are plenty of options that will reward you on closing day.

Here are some home renovations, big and small, that you should consider, as well as some you should avoid.


Home Investing Tip #1 – Neutral Styles

 

✨Keep it Neutral Styles that last—neutral, safe designs—are best when showing a home. If you have any dated furniture, controversial art, or strange colours in your home, you might want to consider upgrading and neutralizing.
Tip: Staging experts also go for extremely neutral, modern designs. Photos for homes look best with clean lines, modern furniture, and lots of light.


Home Investing Tip #2 – A Fresh Clean Home

✨Easy home improvement is key When buyers walk through a home, they’re not only looking at individual elements, but inherently thinking “how does this home make me feel?” The cleaner and more polished you can make a home look, the better. Painting the house, for example, goes a long way toward creating a fresh, clean feel. Here are other small improvements that go a long way:

  • Steam-clean all carpeting
  • Put up neutral, colourful artwork
  • Install modern light fixtures
  • Replace kitchen and bathroom hardware

Home Investing Tip #3 – Kitchen Upgrades

  • Instead of a full kitchen remodel, consider replacing the backsplash or painting the cupboards
  • Replace any broken tiles and re-tile problem areas
  • Install new countertops in kitchens and bathrooms

Home Investing Tip #4 – Avoid Large Renovatoins

✨ In a competitive market, sellers should stay away from large renovations, as it’s unlikely they’ll yield any differential significant return on the investment to do the renovations. For example, if all homes for sale are getting several offers and you decide to replace your windows, the cost of those windows may not increase the amount of your offers enough to cover that cost. Think more about simple cosmetic changes that provide you the largest impact per dollar.
