Upgrades That Make a Difference: Driveway Repair Delray Beach

http://actionconcretefl.com/

For homeowners in South Florida considering selling their homes and wanting to increase its’ value to the max beforehand; consider some of these upgrades that will truly make a difference in how much you get for your most important asset.

I have lived in the South Florida area for over two decades. I've managed to do alright for myself and have a few homes; two in Fort Lauderdale and one in Delray Beach. I recently decided to sell all three homes and downsize to a single home simply because owning property has become too much of a hassle. In doing so, I got all three appraised and did not like the estimated value that I was given. I decided to do some research on relatively minimal investments and upgrades I could do to my homes in order to increase their value before sale. Here’s what I found.

The home that I raised the value of the most was the one up in Delray. My first step was addressing the curb appeal of the house. South Florida is a beautiful place with gorgeous homes; however, a lot of houses look exactly the same. I wanted my home to stand out from the rest in my neighborhood, so I contacted a top notch driveway repair Delray Beach team to come in and completely overhaul my driveway. The driveway turned out wonderful. I couldn't have asked for more. The investment was relatively small compared to the increased value that was added to my home because of it. Remember, sometimes you have to spend a little bit of money in order to make even more.

The two homes down in Fort Lauderdale probably could have benefited from that same driveway repair Delray Beach team, but I decided to go a different route with them. I addressed the backyard of both homes instead of the front. For the home with no pool, I simply had a patio repair company come in and lay new decorative concrete in the patio area and build out a fantastic brick fountain structure that is absolutely breathtaking. For the home with a pool, I had the poolside masonry work freshly stained to a color that complimented the color of the home. I was happy to find that the stain also included a sealant, which is a good selling point. Both homes increased in value by nearly 10 percent with, again, minimal investment.

Small-Cost Repairs and Upgrades Will Make You Money

I think the most important thing that I learned about selling a home in South Florida nowadays is that homebuyers want something different. Focus on the curb appeal of your home and address the patio area. Of course, the inside is important as well, but in our tropical climate; who wants to sit inside? Focus on the details and invest minimally in your home to see a larger return on your most important investment.
