THE BEST PROJECTS FOR INCREASED HOME VALUE

One of the most important aspects of owning a home is increasing its value. This not only helps you gain equity in your property, but it also makes your home more attractive to potential buyers if you decide to sell in the future. While there are many ways to boost the value of your home, some home improvement projects are more effective than others. Here we share the best home improvement projects for increased home value.

Kitchen Remodel: The kitchen is the heart of the home, and upgrading it is one of the most effective ways to boost home value. A kitchen remodel can include anything from updating cabinets and countertops to adding new appliances and fixtures. The key is to create a functional and modern space that will appeal to potential buyers.

Bathroom Remodel: Similar to the kitchen, a bathroom remodel can have a significant impact on your home's value. Upgrading your bathroom with new fixtures, lighting, and tile can make the space more attractive and functional, which can lead to a higher resale value.

Outdoor Living Space: Outdoor living spaces have become increasingly popular in recent years. Adding a patio, deck, or outdoor kitchen can create a space for entertaining guests and relaxing outside. This type of upgrade can increase your home's value and appeal to potential buyers who prioritize outdoor living.

Energy-Efficient Upgrades: Making energy-efficient upgrades to your home can save you money on utilities and increase your home's value. Installing a new HVAC system, upgrading insulation, or adding solar panels can make your home more efficient and eco-friendly.

Curb Appeal: First impressions are crucial when it comes to selling a home, and curb appeal is one of the most important factors in creating a positive impression. Upgrading your landscaping, adding a fresh coat of paint, or replacing an old front door can make your home more attractive and increase its value.

Whether you're planning to sell your home soon or want to invest in your property for the long term, these upgrades can make your home more attractive, functional, and valuable. Consider consulting with a real estate agent to help you plan and prioritize your home improvement projects to ensure you get the best return on your investment.

Imagine an agent relationship that appreciates in value

There is no doubt the real estate industry is experiencing an unprecedented surge and homes are selling quickly and at top dollar, making the real estate team you choose a more critical decision than ever.

Whether refreshing a room or renovating a home, fresh paint is the easiest and most impactful way to breathe new life into a space without breaking the bank. But after pursuing thousands (yes, thousands) of tiny paint-color chips at the store, analysis paralysis takes over.

Is this white too warm? Blue too cool? Then, once you make tough decisions and narrow down your options to only the top contenders, you take your selected paint chips home. And guess what? They look different at home than in the store. Heck, they begin to look different in the various rooms of your same house. Pearls are clutched, and the cycle repeats. But not anymore! You are not alone in what may seem like a never-ending quest to find the perfect paint color for each room and special project at your home.

Here, we share why colors look different at the store and things to consider before purchasing your paint.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

Lighting is the most important caveat to consider when picking out paint colors, both in the store and in your home. Stores are often lit with fluorescent lighting, while most homes have incandescent lights; the color will appear different depending on the light source. Also, natural light changes throughout the day, so there will be subtle variations in the morning versus afternoon.

QUICK TIP: Get a sample quart and paint a section on the wall to confirm that you like it throughout the day.

CHIP AWAY

Picking out paint chips and bringing them home is fun and, at the time, commitment free. But, a reminder: chips are printed, not painted, which can affect how they look.

QUICK TIP: Once you narrow down your favorite two or three colors, purchase sample quarts and test with real paint to confirm your pick is the right one.

CONSIDER FINISHING TOUCHES

The paint sheen or finish you select will also affect the appearance of the color. Flat finishes absorb more light than they reflect, so you’ll have a more consistent color no matter the lighting variations. High-gloss paint is very reflective, so the color you see will depend largely on the amount of light bouncing off it.

QUICK TIP: Know what finish you’d like so you can test accordingly. A general guidepost is flat for ceilings, semi-gloss for trim and cabinets, and satin for walls.

TEST THOROUGHLY

Once you have the sample quarts, you should paint swatches on the room walls. (Don’t be shy, go big!) However, do not place swatch samples side by side or too close to other colors, so they don’t wrongfully influence your choice.

QUICK TIP: Test a large swatch on numerous walls to get a true sense of the shade throughout the day as the lighting changes.

READ THE ROOM

Be sure to consider the existing decor, especially if you are picking paint colors in an empty house before you move in. If you have textiles or throw pillows you can bring in, those will help you make sure it’s a good match. Final rule of thumb? Try before you buy!

THE BENEFITS OF A S pring HOME SALE

Spring is a popular time for homebuyers to search for their dream homes. The warmer weather and longer days create an atmosphere of optimism and a sense of renewal, which translates into an increased demand for homes. This makes spring the perfect time to sell your home, and there are many benefits to doing so.

Firstly, spring is the season of renewal, and buyers are often more motivated to start fresh in a new home during this time. Many buyers also prefer to move during the spring and summer months when school is out, making it an ideal time to sell for families with children. This increased demand and sense of urgency among buyers can lead to a faster sale and potentially even multiple offers, allowing you to get the best possible price for your home.

In addition, springtime provides the perfect backdrop for showcasing your home's best features. With the trees and flowers in bloom, your home's curb appeal will be at its highest, and natural light will pour into your home, making it appear brighter and more spacious. These are just a few of the things that can help you stand out from the competition and attract more buyers.

The spring real estate market often experiences a shortage of inventory, meaning there are more buyers than homes available. This can lead to bidding wars and higher prices for sellers. In a competitive market, your home can sell quickly and for a higher price than in other seasons, providing you with the best return on your investment.

Selling in the spring can give you the flexibility to move and settle into your new home before the start of the new school year or before the colder winter months arrive. This can make the transition to your new home smoother and less stressful.

In conclusion, there are many benefits to selling your home during the spring season. The increased demand, higher prices, and faster sales are just a few reasons why now is the perfect time to sell. So, if you are thinking about putting your home on the market, don't wait any longer. Get in touch with a trusted real estate agent in this magazine and take advantage of this opportune time to sell.

WANT TO START SPRING CLEANING EARLY?

START WITH THESE TASKS

Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes the annual tradition of spring cleaning. While many people associate spring cleaning with deep-cleaning tasks like scrubbing floors and washing windows, there are many other tasks you can tackle to give your home a fresh start. Here are some tasks to help you get started with your spring cleaning early.

DECLUTTER: One of the most important tasks for spring cleaning is decluttering. Go through each room in your home and get rid of anything that you no longer need or use. This can include old clothes, books, and household items. Donating or selling items can be a great way to declutter while also helping others.

DEEP CLEAN CARPETS: Over time, carpets can become dirty and dingy. Spring is a great time to hire a professional carpet cleaner or rent a carpet cleaning machine to give your carpets a deep clean. This will not only make your home look better but will also improve indoor air quality by removing dirt, dust, and allergens.

DUST AND POLISH FURNITURE: Dusting and polishing furniture can make a significant difference in your home's appearance. Use a microfiber cloth or a soft dusting tool to remove dust from surfaces, and then apply furniture polish to give your furniture a shine.

CLEAN AND ORGANIZE CLOSETS: Spring is an excellent time to clean out and organize your closets. Remove everything from the closet, and then sort items into keep, donate, and discard piles. Reorganize the remaining items to make the most of the closet space.

CHANGE AIR FILTERS: Changing the air filters in your home's heating and cooling system can improve indoor air quality and increase the lifespan of your system. This is an easy and essential task that can be done in just a few minutes.

In conclusion, there are many tasks you can tackle to start your spring cleaning early. Decluttering, deep cleaning carpets, cleaning window treatments, dusting and polishing furniture, organizing closets, and changing air filters are just a few examples. By starting early, you can make your spring cleaning more manageable and enjoy a clean and fresh home throughout the season.
