You know this—the kitchen is the new living room. That makes it the central feature of your home. Bringing your kitchen up to speed with current color trends for cabinets, updated hardware, and stainless steel appliances will not only increase your home’s value, it will also help it sell much faster down the road.

The long and short of it is this—bathroom updates go a long way with potential buyers because they tend to assume the work is more expensive than it actually is. So go ahead and update your bathrooms with matching faucets, lighting, and hardware. Frame the mirrors, and choose a beautiful countertop and tile design. Together, these updates create a “wow” moment for you, your guests, and future potential buyers. 

Maintaining your home’s curb appeal to the highest standard will almost always get you a dollar-for-dollar return on your investment. Goals for a healthy lawn include lush, green grass and properly placed bushes and trees. Freshening up exterior paint every 2-3 years not only protects the durability of your home, it makes a good first impression.
