BRENDA KIELBRATOWSKI, REALTOR® - HOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT IMPROVE VALUES

depending on how large your home is, the dimensions of the windows that are needed, and the total number of windows that need to be replaced, it’s a task that is worth it when contemplating the sale of a house. Windows that are aged well past their prime become a burglary risk, as they will no doubt be easier to breach, and will be a target for opportunistic criminals. Old windows are easy to spot, especially on a street of houses that all have new, updated ones. You can also expect a fair ROI on window replacement — approximately 70%. Buyers want to see a modern, up-to-date aesthetic when they are shopping around for a new home. To further that impression, improved and up-to-date windows are an absolute must before your home goes on the market.

BEAUTIFYING YOUR BACKYARD

The backyard is also often overlooked as a crucial part of your home, especially from a buyer’s point of view. This is where the family will play with pets or their children, have barbecues, entertain friends or family members, and much more. Therefore, creating an oasis in your backyard that will stun each prospective buyer to see it is the best way to not only add more value to your home, but to sell your home as fast as possible as well. These days, there are multiple trends that buyers might be looking for when it comes to the backyard of their dreams. You, as the seller, may want to incorporate these as much as possible and use them to your advantage to get your home’s value through the roof and off your hands as fast as possible.
