If your future plans include a move to a new city or a home that more closely fits your needs, now is the time to start planning for the transition. One big factor that will affect your ability to relocate is the sale price of your current home. The better the price you get, the more choices you'll have for the future—and to ensure the biggest payoff, one of your best options is a home addition.

3 Ways Home Additions Enhance Property Value

1. Increased Square Footage

By adding onto your house, you increase its size and bump up its price bracket. An extra bedroom or bathroom looks great on housing ads—and if you add luxuries like a home office, a sunroom, or a rec room, you'll attract buyers at a higher income level looking for those features.

2. Added Amenities

Home AdditionsWhen you add to your home, make sure you're doing it in a useful way. A home remodel also gives you the chance to modernize layouts and appliances. Buyers are looking for up-to-date features and maximum convenience, so this type of update will make your house more competitive on the local market.

3. Balance

If you already have a high bedroom-to-bathroom ration, don't add another bedroom—focus on the bathroom count. With the right planning, your home addition can even out any imbalances that might turn potential buyers off your house, increasing the likely number of offers. You can also use an extension to improve the exterior shape and appearance of your home, increasing curb appeal.

If you intend to sell your home in the future, start getting it ready now. Talk to a local home contractor about the best strategies for maximizing your property’s value.
