Increase Your Home's Value

There is probably nothing you can do cheaply to counter the market's devaluing of your home, however there are some inexpensive improvements you can do to make your house feel like a home and slow the devaluation.

First, it would be a good idea to readjust your mindset and accept that you will be in your home longer than the current average of 5 years. The improvements you are going to be making are for YOU, not with "the next owner".

Spring is a great time to start home projects, and the hardware stores generally have great deals going on for indoor and outdoor items. Before you head to the store take a few days and really evaluate your home, and your lifestyle. Begin to prioritze the most important rooms and their purposes. Then start to break down the tasks. Once you've done that you can put together a materials list and a contractor list (for the items that are above your "pay grade"). All that is left is the execution!

Naturally you are wondering how you are going to pay for this. I get it! Times are tough for a bunch of us. Considers starting with some less expensive items and save up for the larger purchases. By the end of the season you may have enough to move forward. If you are tackling some major projects you may want to consider a taking out a loan, or refinancing your home.

All the Best!
