Additions That Do Nothing To Your Home Value
If you want to sell your house, you would want to increase the value as high as you can. It means you can get more money in your pocket. Certain projects, however, may go unnoticed and will have no affect on your home value at all.
Maintain Consistency throughout the House
Adding the highest-quality stainless steel appliances in your kitchen does little to increase the value when your other bedroom still has 70’s-styled carpeting. Consistency is key. One style should be spread throughout the house. Also, providing upgrades consistently will keep the house in good shape. The only problem with upgrading is that once you upgrade one room, the rest of the house should follow the same theme or set up.
The Problem with Carpets
If you have carpeting spread throughout your house, it may turn some potential homebuyers away. There is a growing concern over allergens and bacteria being trapped inside of them. Even if you did want to have wall-to-wall carpeting, the color scheme may not be exactly what you wanted.
Utility Improvements
Utilities are one of the biggest improvements that do not raise home value. Simply because homebuyers expect all of them to be in working order. While they should be repaired and in good condition, there is no need to get the highest-quality furnace out on the market. In the end, your expenses will most likely not be recovered.
