Want to increase the Value of Your Home ?

Many times we are asked the, "How can I increase the value of my home?"

We always give the same answer. You can increase the value of your home by adding more square footage to your home or by remodeling the interior. These two items will give the biggest value increase for your dollar.

Generally,  most people can add additional square footage with a bedroom or family room addition. The more bedrooms you have, the more money your home is worth (just don't go over more than six bedrooms), Sometimes, due to either lot size or zoning requirements, or if your located within a condominium development, you can not complete a room additional.

And on the topic of room additions, DON'T convert your garage into a room, especially without permits as it DE-VALUES your home. Many people are unaware of this.

So, if you cannot add square footage, than your best option is to upgrade or remodeled the interior. The first item you should be looking at, is your kitchen and than bathrooms. Once again these two items will give you the biggest increase per dollar spent.
