In the current market, it's not enough to have a traditional home. The reality is that potential buyers are becoming more demanding, and the competition will do whatever it takes to capture that market. So, what can we do to be more competitive? The answer is: renovate. Renovating a house not only allows us to put a fresh and modernized home on the market but also helps us save on future maintenance expenses and, most importantly, increases the value of our property. That's why at Salinas Habitats, we share some areas that you can renovate to make the most of your home: Kitchen Considered by many as the most important space in the house, the kitchen is the family gathering point and where we usually spend most of our time. That's why renovating this space should be your priority. Replacing the countertops with granite, adding storage, including an island or breakfast bar, and even buying state-of-the-art appliances will help you make the most of your kitchen. You can also consider an open concept where the kitchen and the living room become one. Bathrooms Just as important as the kitchen, bathrooms are spaces that will definitely be visited. If the toilets are old, stained, or broken, replacing them should be a priority. This not only increases the value of your property but also helps you save water. You can accompany this with modern plumbing or one that suits the style you're looking for, adding grout to the tiles, and improving ventilation. Master Bedroom It has been proven that renovating the master bedroom increases the value of the property.
Investing in a quality mattress can be expensive, but it will save you future pains (and we're not referring to physical ones). Adding large windows, as well as investing in curtains, bedding, and a walk-in closet, will help improve this space. Facade The reality is that first impressions matter, and when it comes to a property, the facade is the first thing visitors see. That's why it's important for it to look good. Painting the exterior of the property, adding fences, and changing the roof will allow you to make the most of your property.
In addition to these options, you can consider adapting your home to an eco-friendly style, such as a green roof, a garden, adding ceiling fans, LED lights, and if your budget allows, installing solar panels. Another option to consider is opting for a smart home. The investment will be much higher, but the result will exponentially increase the market value. As for smaller and lower-cost changes, you can replace the floors with wood, paint and repair wall dents, change the doors, and why not, give the house a deep cleaning.
