Makeovers That Add Value to Your Home
Whether you're sprucing up your home to sell or just want to give it a quality makeover, consider adding touch-ups that will boost your home's value -- and help you get a higher price when you do eventually put it on the market.
As Blanche Garcia (pictured at left) explains to Howcast, you should focus on your kitchen countertop and appliances, wall colors and flooring. Granite or stone countertops are always the way to go, Garcia advises. You might think you're saving money by going with cheaper laminate variety but these types of countertops typically don't outlast a year. And if you have outdated kitchen appliances, consider getting them replaced. They speak greater volumes to perspective homebuyers than you might think.
