3 Ways To Increase Your Property’s Value

When you’re ready to advertise your property for sale, there are some sure-fire ways to increase its value. Check out these ideas that appeal to all sizes of budget.

  1. Paint the Exterior

An act as simple as painting your property’s front door can spruce up your frontage and inject it with personality. For a low price point, paint allows you to refresh your property and increase its appeal and value. If your property’s exterior is peeling or faded, give it a complete makeover. If the interior is shabby or dated, go ahead and paint it in a neutral color throughout so that it offers potential buyers a “clean canvas.”

  1. Upgrade the Kitchen

For residential properties, in particular, the kitchen is usually the heart of the home. New appliances, cabinets, hardware, fixtures and lighting can all go a long way towards increasing your property’s value. However, if you’re on a budget and must choose just one element to upgrade, go with cabinets or countertops. They freshen the kitchen, giving it a new look and feel.

  1. Landscape the Frontage

When you landscape your residential or commercial property’s frontage, you give it enormous curb appeal. Landscape design comprises a vast selection of options, including the following elements:

  • Canopies and pergolas
  • Flowers, plants, shrubs and trees
  • Lighting
  • Patios and Decks
  • Pools, ponds and spas
  • Water features

If you’re into DIY projects, consider offsetting the cost of some of these elements by installing them yourself. If you’ve no idea what’s possible or where to begin, hire a landscape architect or designer in your area. Browse online for an expert by inputting your location into the search engine criteria. For example, enter “landscape architect West Palm Beach” or “New York City.”
