After months of social distancing and adjusting to life in a pandemic, it almost makes sense how quickly time has flown. Now that we’re inching towards the middle of fall, it might be a good time to consider some home improvement projects before the craziness of the holidays come into play. Before jumping head first into anything, take into consideration what is going to help increase the value of your home. Some projects are going to have a higher ROI than others, so make sure that the ones you move forward with are worth the time and effort. We’ve pulled together some of the best projects to consider this fall season.
Extra Space for Work and School
According to insights from top agents, many buyers since the beginning of COVID-19 have shifted their home buying checklist to include space for a home office or school room. Crowded apartments and smaller homes felt extra cramped as people had to convert spaces to get work done. Because of this, people have been relocating to fit this new lifestyle as remote work becomes more and more common. As a homeowner, consider repurposing a room to be a home office. This home improvement project will add value to your home and will also prove to be functional for the next few years.
Kitchen remodel
Nice kitchens never go out of style. When the pandemic hit and people found themselves making more use of their kitchen space while restaurants and bars closed their doors, the kitchen became one of the more important rooms in the home. The choice to remodel your kitchen is a good one, and it’s guaranteed to come with a high ROI. The good news is that minor kitchen remodels are worth more than expensive ones according to the Remodeling Cost vs Value report from 2020. Some remodeling ideas include updating the cabinetry and hardware or installing new stainless steel appliances. For quick touch ups, you can also consider new lighting fixtures.
Luxury Home Additions
Since the start of the pandemic, people have been more on the lookout for homes that have amenities like pools, saunas, and home gyms as places like gyms and country clubs have been operating with restrictions. These home improvement projects with high ROI can appeal to a higher end type of buyer who wants these amenities not only for the short term, but for the next several years.
Stone Veneer
Another great way to add value to your home is to install a stone veneer. Not only do stone veneers come with an ROI of about 95.6%, but they also boost the curb appeal of your home. Stone veneers are timeless and there are countless ways to style them. Depending on where you live and what the aesthetic of your home is, you can choose among different styles of rocks and stones to improve the exterior of your home. Curb appeal and people’s first impressions of your home are especially important when you do decide to sell and a stone veneer is the perfect way to make your property stand out!
