4 Ways to Add Value To Your Home
Every home can be improved, even if a little at a time, to see the growth of the value of the home. Whether you've lived in your home for five months, or five years, you can make adjustments to the style, layout, landscaping and more, and find that your Lake of the Ozarks home is now worth more than it was before. At Gattermeir Davidson, we not only help you find the home of your dreams but also give you ideas for how to make it an even better place to live.
Whether you want to upgrade your home to sell or you want to upgrade for your own enjoyment, here are a few ways you can make a big difference in the appearance of your home. Hopefully, you can make a difference in the value, too!
First, you can add value to your home by removing walls to open things up. It may seem counter intuitive to get rid of a "room," but you are actually enhancing the space. Instead of having a living room and a kitchen separated by a wall with a door, you can potentially remove that wall and make one open area.
You can also help improve the value of your home by creating spaces. Instead of culminating the junk in one room, take some time and create it into a home office. Make the corner of the den a library or craft area. Or even better yet, create a fire pit in the backyard.

Fix the Flooring
If there is one way to catch your buyer's attention, it's through the flooring that you have in your home. Not only can the flooring make or break your sale, it can affect the total value of your home. If you still have outdated linoleum or carpet, try updating it wither either a ceramic or luxury vinyl tile. If you really want to go all out, you can renovate with hardwood floors - these are always a great selling point.Mind the Maintenance
If you've been postponing the maintenance of your home, now is the time to start. While you may not think this affects the value of your home, having too many unfinished projects and broken features can certainly deter buyers and bring the cost lower than you would want.Let There Be Light
While adding new wiring to a home is a great way to catch a buyer's attention, you can simplify it by just adding new lighting. Sconces, recessed lights, new fixtures, or even just dimmer switch are all ways you can improve the value of your home with quick, easy steps.
