Home equity and the mortgage industry shot through the roof in 2020, even amid a Worldwide Pandemic, indicating to many that no matter what – homeownership is still one of the best routes you can take for a healthy long-term future.
Today, we will share some of the most effective ways to increase your home’s value, from things you can do yourself to large overhauls that have a large return on investment!
All the things sitting around collecting dust can make a home feel cluttered, thus smaller. A smaller-looking home is a less valuable home in the eye of a potential buyer.
Cleaning the carpets won’t increase your home value tenfold, but it will make them look better and prevent you from replacing your carpets (thus saving you money).
If you have the ability and time to paint, for under $100, you can grab a few gallons of paint, a few rollers, and a drop cloth and spend a Friday night and Saturday painting!
Whether you go down this road of increasing your home’s value, keep in mind that some of these upgrades will pay for themselves over time, depending on how long you stay in your home!
Even if you don’t have a green thumb, there are simple ways to make your yard look better and add curb appeal for under $100 and sometimes for free without hiring a landscaping company.
