Many of us we want to remodel our home to beautify it, to do it but comfortable and of course, to add him more value at the moment of to sell it. Generally, the brake that stops us to decide to make the changes is usual good money. But with a small investment we can achieve radical modifications that enlarge the price of our property and they provide a great profit value.
Details that attract
"A house in good conditions and attractive is sold but easy that a with defects or decorated with colors and finished that there they are past of fashion", Fernando says Pay Ruiz, construction and author of the book Affordable Remodeling (Restructurings to our reach).
He adds that to modernize and to maintain the surfaces and mechanical elements are details that contribute to maintain the value of a property, although has not to increase it. "A house with fresh painting, fashionable colors abroad, healthy and modern surfaces in the interior and new counters or countertops is going to sell faster and by better price than the house of a neighbor that be not in the same conditions".
"As for the mechanical elements -says Pay Ruiz- "the energy consumption systems, like the heating and the air conditioning, in this epoch of expensive energy, they influence the buyer because their quality and age they determine in part, the operating cost of the home".
In this sense, a good investment is to change the water heater with immersion heater for one instant, without storage tank of water. "Although this technology is not new, many owners are beginning to discover that these water heaters are a way to save energy and money", says Kate Caskin, senior vice president of the Counsel for the Education and Investigation of the Propane (PERC, by its acronyms in English).
Quality in the flat
Tom Sullivan, founder and president of Lumber Liquidators suggests to install laminated flats of wood. "" The flats are important because they provide the first impression to the buyers. Typically, it is the first thing that a buyer will note. So to improve the quality of your flats would be able to signify the difference among the sale of your home or that remain in the market"", says Sullivan.
While Mr. Cybalski, director of the design for Pergo, recommends the rolling because is an easy and cheap article to install. "In fact, a great project can be carried out in barely a weekend and, besides the appearance of true woods, maintains its new aspect by more time".
An ecological option
Another material that can use at home and that besides being economic is ecological, is the bamboo. "It is an excellent option for the ones that desire to do its more respectful and more attractive home of the environment. The bamboo is durable, acoustic, sustainable (its exploitation does not damage the natural equilibrium), lasting and does not affect the victims of allergies", says Sullivan.
The tendencies in our times aim toward the ecological thing and the bamboo contributes with this premise. "Particularly the bamboo is one of the better investments than they can be done in a house. It is one of the plants of faster growth in the Land, and is becoming an option ecologically healthy for the owners of a house and the builders", says Sullivan.
As for its tone is surprising to know that already there is in the market a various range of therefore already not alone colors is of the typical clear color, but can provide almost any tone including the brown dark one.
A stunning entrance
Another of the attractions that calls the attention of the buyers are the doors of entrance of the property. At present, the people seeks that the openings of the home be not alone esthetically attractive, but at the same time be insurances and of good quality.
The doors of fiberglass are considered among the better not alone ways to save the investment but also the energy. "If the real estate market is down by a short period or a long time, the advantages of this investment still will be there when the home be sold due to the longevity of the doors of the fiberglass", affirms in a press release Franco they Go, president of Plastpro.
In the kitchen and the bath
The majority of the people knows that the kitchen and the bath are two of the better areas to recover the money invested in the remodeled but in times of recession, instead of invest $54 thousand in change your kitchen, you can meet some hundreds of dollars and to give him a new image to these special places of the house.
In this sense, Pat Simpson, expert of CedarSafe and host of HGTV, designed three projects of restructuring that barely require an investment of thousand dollars.
According to Simpson, to remodel the kitchen does not turn out to be very costly. "If you substitute the marksman in the doors and the drawers, remove the fluorescent pipes, clusters lamps in its place and besides paint the ceiling, alone need 700 dollars and have a new kitchen".
Another counsel that gives the host of HGTV is to replace the doors of metal of the cabinets of the rooms for some of wood. Thus you change the appearance of your cabinet while reuse your current bookcase. The average cost to do this improvement one same is of around 200 dollars and they are available in the most important stores of all the country.
As for the bathroom, affirms that with 100 dollars you can buy a mirror with framework, a pleasant lamp and to paint again the walls, giving him thus a completely new appearance to the place.
And to put your bath in the ecological wave, you can change the old washroom of china for one fact of bamboo. "This product is not only ecological, if that besides is not of it more unusual than have seen", says Tom Sullivan, president of Totally Bamboo, a business that markets done products with this sustainable material.
It is done the light
The lighting is one of the most important resources at the moment of to beautify our homes. And one it can take advantage of the opportunity to do also a savings. Fernando Pay Ruiz says that one of its techniques preferred "to add him view to a home and to an almost imperceptible cost, is to change the bombitas of ordinary light to bombitas of quality of light during the day (of five thousand kelvin) in the kitchen, entrance and running".
Our house can suffer a notable change of lighting with the replacement of the conventional light bulbs by the fluorescent that represents besides an annual savings of 50 dollars. "This it is the improvement but easy that can be done in a house, although even not the variety exists and quality of desirable light in this category of bombitas super-efficient".
Pagés Ruiz also recommends to install sensors of movement in the walkways of our homes to save energy in the event that we forget us of put out the lights.
In the garage
Another way to add him attraction to your home to maintain its value is to utilize systems of organization and storage. You can equip your garage with systems of wall -that also they serve for the basement and the cabinets- that adapt to the spaces and they give a place to each thing.
Rick Chamberlain, director of sales and of commercialization of storeWALL, explains that the systems of storage and organization of the wall add value to our property. A tidy garage and organized provides always a pleasing impression, considering that many owners of house utilize it as the primary entrance to the home.
"The possible buyers see in a garage organized a proof that the home is well care. A home whose interior this clean and tidy one loses many points if the garage seems a discharge of trash"", the businessman says.
To initiate these works of restructuring you can invest 500 dollars in the purchase of some boards and accessories for cover the area with the garage and "thus add a significant value to the property" affirms Chamberlain.
As we know, the real estate market has returned highly selective and the salespersons need to create in the first visit a great impression. Put in any practice of the recommendations that do the experts and you will be able thus to modernize and to beautify your home besides obtaining a greater performance with a little investment.
