5 Projects That Can Increase Your Property’s Resale Value in Markham

January 12, 2022 By Martin MacFarlane Leave a Comment

Renovating a home is exciting. Couples often spend years saving up to make improvements to their homes. Certain restoration projects, though, can have a greater impact on the overall resale value of your property in Markham? Take a look at some of these top home improvement projects you should consider right now. 

Finishing the Basement 

Property owners need space to move around, which is the driving factor in them buying it in the first place. What you can do as a homeowner to increase the value of your home is to finish your basement and increase the physical square footage. Renovating the basement alone can add a substantial amount to the resale value and overall appeal of your home.

Open Floor Plans 

To maximize the natural light inside your property, you can take down some walls. It can make your home appear very inviting to potential homebuyers and generally appeals to a much larger pool of potential buyers.  Specifically, around the kitchen and living room area, try to ensure an open and spacious layout. The new homeowners will one day have the option to add walls but not having some in this region and having an open space gives them options. And homebuyers LOVE options. 

Renovate Essential Spaces Like Kitchens and Bathrooms

Sometimes, adding a bit of life into high-usage rooms like bathrooms and kitchens can give your property a new lease. Try to come up with some worthy ideas and invest in renovating these essential spaces so that you can increase your property’s value. You have no idea how many houses are rejected simply because potential home buyers don’t like the outdated look of the kitchen or bathroom. 

The renovations don’t need to be lavish and can be as simple as replacing old fixtures, adding a fresh coat of paint, and revamping the tiles and mirrors. 

Improved Curb Appeal: Perhaps Landscaping?

A property becomes infinitely more inviting when it’s surrounded by greenery. Landscaping happens to be one of the most affordable ways of improving a property’s curb appeal in Markham and one you should certainly consider. 

Reliable Realtors Help A Lot

It may seem a bit premature to you, but just hear us out. Would you consider selling your property at the right time if you were going to make a massive profit? You’d definitely consider it, but your realtor’s job is to inform you of such an opportunity. Start sooner than later and get in touch with a reliable realtor in Markham.
