Three Things You Can Do Today to Boost Home Value

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

That’s right – we said you can boost your home’s value with three simple things. Maybe you’re not a seller, but that doesn’t mean your house can’t look its best year-round! Improving your home’s value doesn’t have to be a painstaking process. As a matter of fact, all of these fixes are simple and ONE DAY PROJECTS! It’s true – you can take this list of Honey-Dos to the Home Depot and then the bank and be done in time to enjoy a backyard BBQ with friends and family:

Update Your Paint: Inside and outside, you’d be amazed at what $200 can get you in the way of a second life for your home. For the outside, enlist the family: adults take trim like windows and door frames and let the kids have the big areas. This way, you can cover up any mistakes on the trim with a darker color and keep “coloring inside the lines” a minimal concern. On the inside, focus on common spaces and high use areas like the kitchen and bathroom.

A Little Landscaping: Bark chips and rocks are your friend! For under $100, you can fill a cart at your local home improvement store and spruce-up your front yard. You’d be amazed at what a little landscaping can do for curb appeal!

Fix the Faucets: How old are your plumbing fixtures? In one day, you could replace every faucet in your house and give your rooms a new lease on life. Faucets are easy to install yourself, but if you have a great handyman, there’s no shame in asking for a package deal for having them all done in a day. They want the work, you’ll love the result!

If you’re looking for something to do after the Honey Dos this month, check out our local events calendar. We’d love to see you out and about! Stay cool and we’ll see you next week.
