Curb appeal is the single biggest factor affecting the resale value of your home. It’s also the one you have the most control over. Your home is probably the most valuable thing you own — it’s also an investment. Here are some easy design improvements you can make to boost its value and increase your equity.
Refresh Your Garage Door
One easy improvement you can make that will have a big impact is investing in a new garage door. In fact, installing a new garage door has one of the highest returns on investments for all home improvements — 97%, virtually dollar for dollar. Newly refreshed doors, especially high quality models made of steel or wood, can substantially improve the equity of your property.
Theme Landscaping
Improving the landscaping of your property will not only increase its value — it will also increase your enjoyment of it. We’re talking about doing more than just adding a few flowers and plants. Approach it from a style standpoint. Hire a professional landscaper who can design landscaping that complements the style of your home. Choose plants that are native to your area and suitable to the environment in which you live. Go for something natural that blends well into the suburban climate of Rancho Cordova, California.
Create an Oasis for Outdoor Living
The weather is beautiful in California. Design an oasis that can turn your yard into an outdoor living room to enjoy it. Update your patio and yard. Put in a fire circle with outdoor furniture, perhaps an outdoor kitchen and BBQ center. You might even install an outdoor entertainment center with a TV and fully working stereo.
