11 Boston Home Projects Worth the Money

It's hard to believe with all the recent cold and snow, but, SPRING is just around the corner! There is no better time to focus on home renovation than springtime in Boston, MA. The weather is (hopefully) milder in spring so renovation doesn't seem so daunting. Many of us also have tax refunds that we can put to good use and invest back into our homes. Springtime may be your best bet for home renovation in your Boston, MA home. Not all home improvement projects are created equal, only some will boost your home’s value.  Here is a list from USA Today on popular home updates that are worth the money.

1. Paint. The quickest and cheapest way to make a home fresh again.
2. Backsplash. A relatively quick and inexpensive way to add some life to your kitchen.
3. Granite. A favorite for many homebuyers.
4. Attractive Cabinets. Shake cabinets specifically sell for higher than expected.
5. Bathroom Vanity. The bathroom comes second to the most important room for buyers. A new vanity will instantly give a facelift to an aging room.
6. Smart Doorbell. A doorbell with a camera is an inexpensive and interesting option.
7. Functioning Fireplace. A definite positive for your home value.
8. Energy Saving Thermostat. Save on energy bills with a thermostat that learns your habits and only heats/cools when you are home.
9. Barn Doors. A trendy sliding door is a great updated look for your home.
10. Solar Vents in Attic. Help your utility bills now and a nice seller bonus when its time to sell.
11. Landscaping.  Don’t underestimate the exterior of your home. If you don’t have a green thumb, hire a professional.

I hope you can invest into your Boston home with one of these projects. When it comes time to sell your Boston Home and buy new please look for a professional, someone well-versed in all aspects of the sale process. From strategic marketing, and negotiation, a qualified professional is a home seller's best asset. Your satisfaction is the key to my success. Don't sell your home without the help of an experienced agent. Contact a Boston real estate agent when you are ready. I look forward to hearing from you!
