LONDON – LIVING – While remodeling and updating your home might seem like a no-brainer when it comes time to put your house on the market, things aren’t that simple. While some renovations may indeed make your house more attractive to buyers, the cost might actually offset any profits you could make. And other renovations will actually deter some buyers and will make your house even more difficult to sell. Here are some of the best areas to focus on if you want to increase your home’s value.

The Kitchen

Remodeling the kitchen is a winner most of the time. The kitchen is a sacred area for many people and an outdated kitchen can severely affect the value of any home. And this is especially true with this new wave of buyers. As a matter of fact, according to a recent study, the vast majority of millennials who were asked what their number one priority in a new home was cited an “updated/modern kitchen” as their first choice.

However, that shouldn’t mean you should go all out and completely remodel the kitchen. Repainting the cabinets, updating the lighting or doing something as simple as replacing appliances and adding a new sink could make a huge difference. Sites like Bestkitchenfaucetshub.Com have tons of modern sink options that could significantly change the overall look of your kitchen.

Don’t Forget the Floors

Flooring can also have a huge impact on purchasing decisions for new buyers. In some cases, a few repairs or a nice polish might be all that you need. But in other cases, you’ll have no choice but to completely replace the flooring.

And most of the time, the integrity of the flooring isn’t the main issue. Sometimes the flooring may just be too personal for buyers. For instance, if you decided to go for red and white tiles for a retro 60s diner look, you might attract a very small number of buyers who may be into that look. The same goes for carpeting. While some people will like some carpeting here and there, others might associate it with high maintenance.

Your Front Door

You should never underestimate how much of an impact a nice looking front door area can have. But more importantly, many aren’t aware of how much of a deterrent a malfunctioning doorbell, chipped front door or an uninspired looking porch can be.

What’s great about the front door area is that it’ll give you the most dramatic effect for the price you’ll spend. Going for a nice redwood door with a rustic handle and a portico or awning above it could make a huge difference. Take things up a notch and go for new house numbers and a matching mailbox that will complement your new front door and porch. You’d be surprised at how some little changes like these could elevate your house’s overall look and curb appeal.

If you’re going to renovate any part of your house, these choices will usually give you the most bang for your buck.
