Are you looking to sell your Mississauga or Oakville home?
Have you been thinking about selling you house- maybe not now but down the road? Are you looking to upgrade your home but not sure what will give you the most re-sale value?
There are some things you can do and are a good investment in terms of the resale value of your home.
Update Your Kitchen and Bath: Usually on the top of a list of things sellers can do to improve the resale value of their house is updating their kitchen and bathroom
Buyers are looking for kitchens with lots of workspace , new appliances and high quality counter tops , cupboards and flooring. If you plan on selling your house down the road spending money on your kitchen is a good choice.
En suite bath or master bath. More and more buyers are demanding an en suite to go with their master bedroom,. They are pretty much the standard in new homes being built. Most sought after features are spa tubs, a separate shower, double sinks and a newer trend- separate room fro the toilet. walk-in closets are also a feature buyers are looking out for.
Windows- Spending money on energy efficient windows is not only a great for the environment- but you will see a return on them when you go to sell your house. After furnace and roof windows are next on the savvy buyers list.
Be careful not to OVER do it- spending thousands on granite counter tops and travertine tile in a an area where laminate and ceramics are the norm may not see a big enough return.
