Increasing Your Home's Value

Sellers often go great lengths and invest good money in making their Newport Beach homes more attractive. But you'd be surprised at how much value you can add for well-chosen additions that require little to no money.

Curb appeal: Marketing your home starts on street level. As buyers walk up your driveway to the front door, they're picturing themselves taking that same path every day for the next few years. Make it more attractive by picking up the clutter, patching up cracks, and adding a few potted plants along the way.

Kitchen: Remodeling your kitchen can cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars to well over six figures. Sure, they do pay off well. But you don't have to make that investment to increase your home's value. Sometimes, just a good cleaning or a fresh coat of paint can greatly increase your kitchen's appeal. Replace worn-out cabinet doors, get shiny new knobs, and replace broken tiles on the floor and backsplash.

Bathroom: Newport Beach CA buyers tend to pay special attention to bathrooms. As often the most abused part of the house, the bathroom can say a lot about the home's overall condition-but again, it doesn't have to cost you a fortune. Start by checking for old fixtures and replacing them. Repaint your walls with a bright neutral color, and throw in some decorative items like accent tiles and ornamental soap holders.
