As a top Coto de Caza Real Estate Company, Inspired Realty frequently fields questions about the value renovations bring to an existing home. As a licensed general contractor and real estate broker, Joe Mueller knows the renovation and real estate markets.
Joe’s top upgrades that improve value impact the interior and exterior of the home. Here are the top three.
Upgrades for Energy Efficiency
With energy prices continuing to climb and no relief in sight, home buyers all across California look for energy-efficient homes. In sunny Coto de Caza, homebuyers want to control cooling costs, too.
Because this gated community of about 4,000 homes lies inland, daytime temperatures rise higher than along the coast. That increases energy consumption.
Coto de Caza homes with solar panels, upgraded HVAC systems, high R value windows, or exceptional attic insulation reduce energy consumption and lower energy bills.
Often, buyers ask for several months of energy bills when considering the purchase of a home. Upgrades that improve the energy efficiency of your home make it a standout when compared to other homes without these upgrades.
Enhanced Outdoor Spaces
Pools, patios, balconies, and decks increase the usable living space in a home. What the rest of the country calls a “yard” we call a California room.
Upgrades to the outdoor living spaces make your home not only more enjoyable for you but also add value to your home when you sell.
Buyers like to imagine themselves lounging by the pool, grilling and chilling at the outdoor kitchen, and watching the big game in outdoor seating areas.
Upping the appearance of your outdoors increases the value of the indoors. It also gives your home a competitive advantage over other properties when it comes to sell.
Gas fireplaces, upgraded deck surfaces, covered patios, and areas for cooking and eating are all popular outdoor amenities in Coto de Caza.
Curb Appeal
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Your home’s appearance from the street sets the tone for buyer expectations.
Improving the appearance of your home’s exterior improves your home’s value and helps your home sell faster.
Year after year, an upgraded garage door continues to be the one home improvement that returns over 90% of the investment in value. New garage doors provide better insulation, create a fresh look, and make your home look fresh and clean.
In addition to front doors and garage doors, upgraded carriage lights and entrance lights improve curb appeal.
Fresh mulch or bedding materials also deliver a punch of panache for little money.
