The days of a young couple purchasing or building their first home and then paying it off and living in it the rest of their lives are long gone. Today’s homeowners want to keep upgrading their life, whether it be through remodeling so their current home is up-to-date, moving to a newer home, or both. In fact, a person in the United States is expected to move over 11 times in his or her lifetime. If you are thinking it may be a change, clearly, you aren’t alone. If you aren’t yet thinking that, chances are good you will be within the next few years.

That is why considering the resale value of your home is so important, even if you aren’t quite ready to put a For Sale side out front. The best thing you can do to not only enjoy your house now but also earn top dollar for it when you place it on the market is to invest in some home renovations. You don’t have to guess as to which projects will be the best in the long run. The National Association of Realtors put together a list of exactly which remodeling projects will earn you the most when you turn around and sell your home. Based on their research, kitchen renovations and upgrades are among the top remodeling projects most likely to add value to a home at resale and most likely to appeal to home shoppers. This is great news for Southwest Florida homeowners, because you have Beattie Development at your disposal and we have been doing masterfully-crafted kitchen renovations for years! Don’t take our word for it though, view our online kitchen renovation photo gallery to get an idea of exactly what our company can do for you.

Beyond kitchen remodels, other projects that topped the list were bathroom renovations, installing new wood floors, and making upgrades to the master bedroom/suite. While it isn’t mentioned on their list, we have certainly seen additions to outdoor living make a big impact on sales here in our area.

And don’t forget, after the kitchen remodel is over and you’re eventually ready to sell your home, you can turn to Beattie for that as well!
