Choose a Home that will hold its Value
Think about your new home and see how appealing it will be when its time for you to sell it. Here are some features that will help you sell your home later.
Curb appeal can add 5 to 10 percent to a home's value. If a home doesn't make a good first impression, a stunning interior usually doesnt make up for it. If your house has great curb appeal when you buy it then maintain it, because it will work for you when you want to sell it.
An elaborate garden or pool that you like might deter prospective buyers because they might think its too much work to maintain. A garage is a definite plus for resale and the bigger the better.
The ambiance on the inside of the house matters as much as the individual rooms. Most buyers appeal to light and bright feeling rooms. Look for a home with large windows, good sun light, walkouts to garden and vaulted ceilings in the main room.
The floor plan is vital consideration for resale. The house will make an awkward impression if the rooms do not relate to each other. The layout should be relative to the climate. The most popular features are a large separation from the master bedroom and secondary bedrooms, a central area where living, family dining and kitchen areas flow together.
Kitchens and bathrooms are the areas that affect resale value most. A contemporary kitchen with new appliances is a big draw, updated bathrooms, especially luxurious master suite bath are popular.
A 3 bedroom has much wider appeal than a one with fewer bedrooms. Four or more bedrooms don't necessarily help sell a house, but it does put it in the market to larger families. A spacious master bedroom is an expected feature in new homes. A lot of storage and closet space are also compelling resale features.
