If you’re in the market for a home, you may be interested in what home design choices retain value over time. While some design features have great resale value over time, others don’t.
That’s why knowing what features people want can have a big payoff if you decide to sell later on. Buying a home with these features or adding them in after you buy can help you keep or even exceed your return on investment.
Design Features with the Best ROIMore Useable Square Footage
The price and value of a home are determined by the livable square footage it contains. So, the more square footage you have, the more your home is worth.
If you’re building a semi-custom or custom home, adding rooms like an extra bathroom or in-law suite creates extra functionality that is appealing to buyers.
Fresh Coat of Paint
There’s nothing like a classic coat of paint to liven up a space. Adding another splash of color livens up even the most dated spaces to give it a fresh, modern feel.
Modern Garage & Entry Door
Your doors are one of the first things someone sees when they enter your home, so having up-to-date doors leaves a positive impression.
Having a modern garage or entry door has an especially high return on investment, so this upgrade can offer an immediate increase in curb appeal.
Updated Kitchen & Bathroom
The kitchen and bathrooms are one of the most used rooms in the home. So, if they’re not functional or outdated, you could be missing out on impactful opportunities.
Adding a midrange or moderate kitchen or bathroom to your semi-custom home is a better choice if you’re looking to recoup money. Since kitchen and bathroom renovations are a big investment, larger remodels don’t always turn the profit you’re looking for.
Finished Basement
Similar to adding usable space, a finished basement increases the livable space in your home. While an unfinished basement is great for storage, a finished one adds valuable space that can be used for other purposes.
Outdoor Living Space
Not only do outdoor living spaces provide fun environments to enjoy outside, but they also have high if not positive ROIs.
Having spaces like a patio, fire pit, or pool can help you see a return and give you a space the whole family will enjoy.
Energy Efficiency Appliances
Who doesn’t love saving money on utility bills? Installing energy-efficient fixtures and appliances is becoming increasingly attractive to homebuyers looking to save money on energy bills.
Energy Star-certified appliances like dryers, washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators go a long way with potential homebuyers and save you money in the meantime.
Stone Veneer
Make the sides of your home stand out with a stone veneer installation. This home upgrade has one of the highest ROIs compared to other upgrades and adds a sleek border to your home.
