Looking to Add Value to Your Home?

If you are a homeowner, you are probably looking for ways to add value to your home, now and for years to come. One of the best ways to add value to your home is to renovate your kitchen. In fact, it is estimated that even a minor kitchen remodel will bring in an 82.7% return on your investment.

The kitchen is often the deciding factor for potential home buyers. Instead of making minor updates to your kitchen over a long period of time we suggest you invest a decent sum of money in a complete kitchen remodel. In the long run, a kitchen renovation will increase the value of your home and is most likely to get your home sold at a faster rate.

While the aesthetics of your kitchen remodel are what will initially catch the eye of guests, the functionality of the kitchen is what will make it appealing to potential home buyers. Here are some of the many aspects of your kitchen remodel to consider:

How many cooks are usually in your kitchen preparing meals?

When you think about cooking in your new kitchen do you picture yourself working side by side with your spouse or children? Does one of you do the dishes while the other prepares vegetables or are you all rushing around trying to complete the same task?

Figuring out how you cook in relation to others will help you decide how to divide the space in your kitchen.

Who else is in the kitchen and what are they doing? 

For example, do your kids like to do homework in their rooms or hang out in the kitchen while you prepare meals? When you throw huge parties do people tend to gather in the kitchen to help or just to spend time with you? Asking these questions will help you to determine the layout of your kitchen and whether or not you should plan for seating or an open floor plan so you can feel close to your guests.

How highly do you prioritize quick and easy cleanup?

Are you constantly busy and usually don't have time to clean up? Do messes really bother you or can you learn to live with imperfection? Answering these questions can determine the type of materials you'll want to have in your kitchen.

What is your biggest, high-ticket item that you want as the centerpiece of your remodel?

Maybe its high-end appliances or its gorgeous granite countertops, either way figuring out your most expensive luxury purchase will set the stage for the rest of your budget. Figure out what's most important to you and to new homeowners in order to get the most value from your kitchen remodel.
