Whether you are planning to put your home on the market soon or you’re simply preparing for the future, investing some time and money in smart home improvement options will exponentially increase your home’s value. The team at Alaska Painting & Construction is well-versed in helping increase the value of several clients’ homes, from small interior paint jobs to large project upgrades and repairs. Following this guide is a great start to increase the value and comfort of your home.

The Link Between Home Improvements & Higher Home Values

What Are Some Economical Home Improvement Ideas?

• Painting: From an inexpensive interior painting makeover to a full exterior painting update, you can significantly increase the look and value of your home with fresh coats of neutral color. These colors work best for people looking to put their home on the market, as they won’t negatively detract potential buyers.
• Home Inspection: Have a professional check to see if there are any hidden issues before they become big problems. Updating and upgrading can also improve the air quality of your home, as well as potentially save you money on utility costs — a huge incentive for future potential buyers.

• Landscaping: Adding some colorful flowers, shaded trees, or other outdoor landscaping additions will immediately add appeal to the look of your home. This will also increase its value, as many buyers are more enticed to buy a home that includes beautiful landsaping features.

Why Are Home Improvements Valuable? 

Aside from the obvious visual and functional benefits, having your home inspected, updated, and even remodeled will provide increased safety and comfort. For example, old carpeting that is decades old may be harboring bacteria and contaminants that are potentially harmful to your health. Other improvement options, such as drywall repair, ensure your family’s safety. Once repaired, the wall will be fire resistant, and it will also save utility costs with an energy-efficient repaired wall. It’s a win-win for you and your home’s future tenants.

How Can I Make Home Improvements on a Budget?

If you are planning to put your home on the market soon but are struggling financially to contract bigger jobs like flooring or a complete bathroom remodel, there are ways to fund these more expensive necessities. Realtors recommend:

• Exploring the best mortgage refinancing options to accelerate your payments or make additional payments on principal.
• Inquiring about a home equity loan or line of credit.
• Applying for an FHA Title 1 loan.
