Renovations for Resale

Summer is an excellent time to work on home renovation projects. When considering your next big project, it is important to consider resale value. Even if you are not planning on moving in the near future, it is always helpful to consider resale as you never know what the future will hold. Many people move without planning for it far in advance or unexpectedly. It is just always best to be prepared. As your local Thousand Oaks realtor and real estate team we have compiled a list of some of the top home renovations to consider while keeping resale value in mind.
• Bathroom: Bathroom renovations no matter how big or small are known for improving the resale value of any home. From simple updates with a few painted walls to a complete overall with new shower tile and a free-standing tub, you will never regret updating your bathroom.
• Landscape: Particularly here in Southern California, landscaping is a large part of why someone will purchase a home. In Ventura County homeowners thoroughly enjoy indoor/outdoor living and updating your landscaping will only add significant value to your home.
• Kitchen Updates: Kitchens and bathrooms are known for “selling houses.” As your local Thousand Oaks realtor and real estate team, what this really means is that kitchens and bathrooms stand out. Families will purchase a home simply because they absolutely fell in love with the kitchen. Any modern updates you make to your kitchen are sure to improve your resale value.
• Curb Appeal: Improving the curb appeal to your home with a fresh coat of paint, a new front door, or some additional landscaping will certainly improve your home’s value. The curb appeal is the first thing new buyers see when they pull up to the house, so it sets the tone for how buyers perceive the rest of the home.
