INCREASING YOUR HOME'S VALUE How your home looks from the street is your first chance to make a good impression. A home’s exterior needs to make a prospective buyer want to walk through the front door. Once the exterior looks good, focus on the kitchen and bathroom. When these two rooms are outdated, they can keep a property from reaching its highest valuation. Improvements that make things easy to clean and maintain may also increase home value. Consider replacing easily stained carpet with hardwood floors or replace high-maintenance wood siding with vinyl siding. Energy conservation features also can have a significant impact on home value, depending on what area of the country you’re in. Bigger homes often command higher values, and even if an appraiser doesn’t officially acknowledge the full value of added space, a buyer will likely notice. Adding a room is the obvious way to make your house bigger, but you can also create additional living space by finishing the basement or building a deck. Safety-enhancing gadgets top the list of “smart” technologies buyers want in their new homes.
