Make the Right Home Improvements to Maximize Resale Value

Kitchen remodel with white cabinets, tile backsplash, updated appliances and lighting,
marble countertops, and hardwood flooring by iCandy Realty

Ready to remodel, but not sure where to start? Your home can be a dream to live in , and also maintain the highest market value with the right remodeling choices. Here are some great tips to get started:

The kitchen is the heart of the home, so the right investment here can boost your home's wow factor, resulting in a higher sale price and shorter market time when it's time to sell. While you are living in your home, a beautiful kitchen provides a cheery gathering place to enjoy with friends and family. The price of a kitchen remodel can be quite reasonable with dramatic results when updating cabinets with a fresh paint color, adding backsplash tiles, or new countertops. If the home is in need of more extensive updates, consider the cost of replacing your cabinets, countertops, appliances, and flooring and how your investment will positively affect a buyer's opinion of your home. Homes that are move-in ready sell much faster and for more money than homes that need repairs and updates. A kitchen remodel, when done correctly, can give you a wonderful return on investment.

What are some other quick options for updating your home? Fresh, neutral paint is one of the easiest and most cost effective updates you can make in your home. Light wall colors in tones of grey, greige, or light sand will brighten up the space and let your home's architecture shine. Don't forget to touch up the trim so it looks sparkling clean and fresh. Flooring updates also give a great return on investment when it's time to sell. Hardwood floor refinishing, cleaning and updating tile and grout, or installing one of the new laminate flooring choices can bring instant value and a modern look to your home. Stick to neutral, timeless colors for the highest return on your flooring investment.

If you're not sure where to start with your remodeling project, contact iCandy Design House to speak with a renovation specialist. We have beautiful samples in our Design House showroom and can help you make the smartest choices for updating your home.
