Today’s real estate market continues to show an abundance of inventory. One way to set your home apart from the others is to consider remodeling. As times change, so do the likes, preferences and desires of homebuyers. Remodeling may make your home more attractive to a multitude of buyers as well as increasing its value. Two areas where remodeling is most likely noticed and rewarded are kitchens and baths.

Remodeling your kitchen can be as simple as replacing countertops, some appliances and repainting. This may be enough to give your kitchen that updated look and feel. If your home is older, you may want to consider more extensive renovations. This may include new cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring and lighting.

In today’s market, buyers are looking for large kitchens with a lot of workspace. If your kitchen is small, perhaps a wall could be taken down or partially opened up into another room to give the feel of expansion and allow more natural light to flow. However, when considering renovations, take into account the characteristics of the neighborhood. If your renovations are dramatically out of character, you may sell faster but not necessarily for a signifi cantly higher price.

Buyers today are looking for master baths that are spacious and give room to roam. A big feature in today’s market is the spa or whirlpool tubs. Other key features include separate showers with steam or multiple jets, double sinks and a separate room for the toilet. One other key consideration when making bath renovations is to make sure your plumbing and hot water heater can accommodate them.
