Adding windows to your custom home will increase its property value.
A major concern you may have when deciding to build a custom home may be the future resale value it holds. You won’t have a house like any of your neighbors, and so, you might be worried they have the advantage. Perhaps you think the details you require might not be useful for someone else, or that your preferences won’t sell on a larger market. Before you start building your home, here are some quick tips that will maximize the value of it.
Leave room for expansion.
This can include extra space on your property in general, or open storage spaces that could later be converted into something else. Buyers will appreciate their own level of customizability, and it shows that you’re flexible. Open spaces will also attract buyers on an aesthetic level. Besides–you’ll never know if you want to add something yourself down the road.
Add lots of windows for natural lighting.
Not only does natural lighting improve mood, it also shows your buyers that you are aware that windows are expensive to change. If a space doesn’t have enough lighting, it can be costly to add more. They also save money by cutting down on energy costs, which is another benefit that will attract buyers.
Get the best flooring.
Hardwood that will last and look flawless over the years is an investment that can’t go wrong. You can invest in flooring that doesn’t scratch or buff, and this is an option that means you’ll never have to professionally clean any carpeting. Plus, if a buyer wants carpeting, they’ll have a choice. It’s much less expensive to remove carpet and place down hardwood, so start them off fresh.
Consider the location of your home.
A waterfront is going to have more value than a home surrounded land. It’s rare for a waterfront home to go down in value, because water bodies are usually very permanent and make it difficult for large-scale construction to take place in the area. The scenery won’t change over the years, for the most part, so what you see is what you’ll be selling. The next best choice is to build anywhere off the beaten path. If you’re around local neighborhoods, there’s a chance expansion may lower the value of your home. Popular areas will have population increases that buyers will shy away from.
