8 Home Features That Are Worth the Splurge

If you want to make some home upgrades, choose one of these that pay off. These features are worth the splurge that will boost resale value and that you will love!

1. A fancy new front door

Curb appeal is a very important resell feature, and a new door is a low cost way to make a big difference. Steel or rod iron doors, high-gloss hues, and contrasting colors are some great choices.

2. Professional landscaping

 

This will not only help boost curb appeal but will be something that will continue to help your home value. This is on the pricier side but landscaping is almost always worth the cost.

3. High-quality wood deck

A new back deck is a great lower-cost expansion of your home. It adds extra square feet to your home and will make a great space for friends and family gatherings. Potential buyers are always fans of nice outdoor spaces — the ROI on a deck or patio is higher than on many other home improvements.

4. Extra bedrooms

 

When it comes to list price, extra bedrooms are a sure way to add to it. Buyers always love extra bedrooms, home offices or other uses for an extra room can be unappealing to many buyers.

5. Kitchen refresh

 

A huge kitchen remodel rarely pays off, instead strategically think over your kitchen refresh. Paint or replace cabinet fronts, add new hardware, replace counter tops, upgrade an applicant or two and replace or refinish worn out flooring.  Keep changes neutral so they will attract the majority of buyers.

6. A bold garage door

Here’s another upgrade you might not have considered. Changing your garage door can change the look of your whole house.

If your car is one you’re proud of, think about swapping in a glass-paneled door; even minimalist windows help break up the lines of your home. A bold accent color can also add to your home’s aesthetic appeal.

7. New siding

There’s a twofold effect here. First, by updating your home’s siding, you’ll improve the home’s appearance, especially if the old siding is worn or warped, while avoiding the future maintenance costs of repainting.

Today’s siding options are far improved over those of previous generations: They’re fade-resistant and low-gloss, and some varieties even come with a grain pattern so as to more closely resemble natural wood. New siding can also improve the energy efficiency of your home, saving you money over the long term — and you can always document those energy upgrades for prospective buyers down the line.

8. Hardware, paint, and fixtures

You don’t need a five-figure budget to subtly upgrade the look and feel of your home. Instead, swap out the ceiling lights, upgrade your bath fixtures, change the doorknobs, and replace your mirrors; even changing the light bulbs will alter the ambiance. It can be worth it to splurge on the little things that buyers notice.

And of course, repainting rooms can refresh your home’s color palette. But when it comes time to sell, consider choosing neutral shades so potential future owners can project their own visions onto the space.

   My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
