What are the most impactful home improvement projects?
- Kitchen and baths – spend time and money on these important areas. A large wall-mounted mirror is always welcoming in a bathroom. Kitchens should be clean, bright, and uplifting.
- Windows- Install large windows and skylights to fill the home with natural light
- Home Offices- Transform spare bedrooms. Buyers are searching for home office space to work from home
- Outdoor Kitchens- the American Institute of Architect’s 2021 survey showed that demand for outdoor spaces rose from 61% to 71% among respondents.
- Flooring- According to Realtor.com, homes with hardwood floors sold for 2.5% more than homes with other types of flooring, providing an ROI of 70% to 80%.
- ADUs- Consider the addition of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). ADUs are self-contained units built on the same property as the primary home
- Lighting – Decorative light fixtures will brighten up the home
- Color cues – cool colors are current, stay away from brown, taupe, tan, yellow, and gold. Move toward ice blue, silver, grays, and cooler hues.
