TWO ENERGY-SAVING UPGRADES TO LOWER UTILITY BILLS
More and more buyers are looking for homes that reduce consumption and save them money on utility expenses. Here are two options that can make your home more energy efficient. Install an energy-saving smart thermostat (less than $300) that saves on utility bills. • Solar vents ($500-$700) should be installed in the attic space to help expel hot air during summer.
MAKING A CASE FOR SPACE
When people accumulate abundant possessions, they need space to store them. They also want a way to clear the clutter. According to the National Association of Realtors®, most homebuyers would have preferred improved and more excellent closet space and other storage options. Consider these statistics showing what buyers are looking for in a home:
• 93% wanted a laundry room • 90% wanted a bathroom linen closet • 86% wanted garage storage • 85% wanted a walk-in kitchen pantry
STORAGE IS A PLUS
Give buyers great storage, and you’ve won their hearts. If you can easily add new closets to your home, do so. Building a simple closet isn’t difficult if you are moderately handy. If you’re selling an older home, where closet space is typically minimal, this will help!
